Abiodun encouraged the newly inducted APC members to become active advocates for the party and its Renewed Hope Agenda. He assured them that a formal rally would soon be organized to celebrate their transition, and promised they would begin to enjoy the benefits of democratic governance under the APC. He also guaranteed that no member would be marginalized or put to shame for choosing to join the ruling party.
State APC Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, welcomed the defectors, describing their decision as wise and timely. He underscored the party’s openness and capacity to provide opportunities for all members to contribute meaningfully to Ogun State’s growth. Former PDP Ward 2 Chairman in Ijebu North, Hon. Adebowale Emmanuel, and other leaders echoed this sentiment, stating it was time to leave the opposition behind and embrace the development agenda led by Governor Abiodun.
Chief Michael Bakare, Secretary of the ADC in Ijebu East, thanked the governor for empowering the people of Imobi with a traditional ruler, calling their move to APC a step away from stagnation toward progress. Hon. Erinle Opeoluwa Samuel, ADC Chairman in Ijebu North-East, commended the visible improvements across the state and admitted their decision to join the APC should have come sooner.
This influx of former opposition leaders into the APC signals a growing confidence in the state’s developmental trajectory under Abiodun’s leadership. As more grassroots politicians align with the ruling party, the APC’s grip on Ogun State politics appears stronger than ever, setting the stage for continued consolidation ahead of future elections.
