Some Members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ondo State have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party members in their hundreds said they believe that it is only the APC that can win the governorship election slated to be held on November 18.
Speaking at an event held in Ondo town, the governor of the state, Lucky Aiyedatiwa welcomed the SDP defectors into the APC camp.
The governor, Secretary to the State Government, Tayo Oluwatuyi, urged members of the party to accommodate the new entrants as they have the right to join any party of their choice.
”They have come to us now, please our leaders, let us support them and their supporters.
“There should be no rejection because politics is about numbers and accommodation of different ideas. Let us all join hands together,” the governor said.
