Hundreds of members of some major political parties in Ondo State have defected to the Labour Party just weeks before the general election.
The defectors are from the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the Social Democratic Party in the Akoko South-East/Akoko South-West Federal Constituency of the state.
At the event, held in Isua Akoko, the headquarters of the Akoko South-East Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday, the defectors also declared support for the presidential candidate of the LP, Mr Peter Obi.
One of the leaders of the defectors and former House of Representatives aspirant of the APC, Mr Stephen Adeyeri, said Obi’s track records coupled with his detailed manifesto containing the solutions to myriads of challenges troubling the nation, spurred him and his supporters to join the party and openly declared his support for the presidential candidate.
