A former chairman of the PDP in Osun State, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, who came third in the recent PDP gubernatorial primary election in the state has defected and picked the ticket of African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the September 22 election in the state.
Akinbade’s media aide, Mr Kayode Oladeji confirmed this to Daily Trust correspondent in Osogbo.
Oladeji said Akinbade’s name would be forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to replace a former Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Kazeem Adio, who voluntarily stepped down from the race.
According to Oladeji, quoting the National Chairman of ADC, Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu, “ADC is pleased to present a leader, an accomplished public servant, and a man always at home with his people to replace him (Hon. Adio).”
Adio could not be reached at the time of filing this report as his telephone was switched off.
