A former gubernatorial candidate of Mega Party of Nigeria in Ogun State in 2015, Iyabode Adenaike and over 200  members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

They announced their defection at a mega rally organised by Yayi Liberators with the slogan: “Yayi for Ogun West in 2023 Not Negotiable.” in the Ado-Odo-Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Speaking at the event, the President, Yayi Liberator, Chief Ibrahim Fayomi, popularly known as Olumako, said Yayi has better experience in politics which he can use to transform Ogun State to a better city as a replica of Lagos State.

“We organised this rally in support of Senator Yayi to enable Ogun West to have adequate knowledge and understanding that he is the only man that can transform the zone into a better position. We believed he will use his wealth of ideas, knowledge, and understanding to do better than other ‘chop I chop’ politicians.”

In her words, Adenaike, said: ”We decamped from other political parties to support Yayi because we all believed in him that he will perform better if Ogun West electorates could vote for him.”
