BREAKING: Adeyeye Dumps PDP For APC After Losing At Ekiti Primary

Former spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Adeyeye, who is a former Minister of State for ‎Works, announced his decision to defect to the APC on Tuesday after failing to win PDP’s governorship primary in the state.

The former PDP stalwart said he will be working with APC’s gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to win Ekiti for the ruling party.

Adeyeye at a press conference in Ado Ekiti Tuesday said, “We have assurances of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the APC candidate that he has come to right the wrong of the past and not on a vengeance mission as being touted by Fayose and his cohorts.

“He is now better equipped, well focused and better prepared to move Ekiti forward. Let’s join hands with him in the collective mission to rescue our dear state from the greedy predator in this hour of our greatest need. This is a call to duty for all patriotic Ekiti sons and daughters.

“For my friends, admirers, patrons and well wishers I want to reiterate that Fayose is an impossible person to deal with. A pompous martinet with a huge ego ,he is deliberately divisive and deceitful . He does not believe in reconciliation and no effort at reconciliation will work with him.

“Leaving the PDP was not an easy decision to make. That was a party to which I have rendered invaluable service at the most trying period of its history.

“Therefore where I am compelled to make a choice between loyalty to a political party and loyalty to my community, l will readily chose my community or state. Political parties come and go but the community remains.

“I cannot change my state or hometown but I can always change my party if I feel that it can no longer serve as a vehicle for our collective good as a people.

“Therefore after deep introspection and wide consultation with various stakeholders in this State, my supporters and I have decided to leave Egypt which the Fayose administration represents and join hands with patriotic Ekiti people to board the train of the APC for the onward journey to our promised land .

“We are joining forces with eminent Ekiti sons and daughters to free our land from the Vulture and predator feeding fat on our common wealth. We want to set our land free and never again shall we entrust our land unto the hands of unknown person with unverifiable pedigree to ride roughshod on our people.”
