Members and leaders of some significant political parties in Ondo State have defected to the Labour Party a few weeks before the general election.
The defectors are from the state’s Akoko South-East/Akoko South-West Federal Constituency and are members of the All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party, and Social Democratic Party.
The gathering was held in Isua Akoko, the state’s Akoko South-East Local Government Area headquarters, and the defectors also vowed their support for Mr Peter Obi, the LP’s presidential candidate.
Stephen Adeyeri, a leader of the defectors and a former candidate for the APC’s House of Representatives, claimed that Obi’s impeccable track record and his comprehensive manifesto, which offered solutions to a wide range of national problems, inspired him and his supporters to join the Labour Party and publicly declare their unwavering support for the presidential candidate.
Adeyeri, who projected a resounding victory for Obi, claimed that Nigerians were tired of the country’s two major political parties (the PDP and the APC), both of which he claimed had failed miserably in managing the country’s affairs. He emphasized that the LP was the only option that was better.
Obi is the candidate to defeat because, among the competitors, he has demonstrated competence, the man stated. His records, which are now in the public domain, were not acquired through deceit; rather, he earned them through diligence when in power in Anambra.

“I’m here to promote Obi’s candidacy to my followers, and I explained to them the reasons why he must be elected, especially his plans to shift the nation from a state of consumption to production.”
He contends that the country needs a capable leader to turn around its fortunes. He emphasized that if Peter Obi were elected president of the nation, the numerous problems affecting inhabitants, such as fuel scarcity, a lack of electricity, hunger, and a host of others, would soon be a thing of the past.
Adeyeri urged the Labor Party’s supporters to vote for all of the party’s candidates in the upcoming general election, stating that it would be “absurdity if those who weaponized poverty on innocent inhabitants have their ways again.”
The LP’s state secretary earlier encouraged the APC, PDP, and SDP defectors to fiercely campaign for the party in all corners of the state as he welcomed them into the party. His advice was given by Mr. Agabje Abiodun.
He claimed that the Labour Party must be chosen based on historical performance because the most recent governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, did a commendable job leading the sunshine state from 2009 to 2014.
According to him, the Labour Party is the only one in Nigeria with rapid growth. We can see how many people are flocking to join the Obi’s movement. Can you compare Mimiko’s performance as governor to that of the current administration, which has fallen short of expectations?
People are weary with the current state of affairs. Residents are suffering, there is no fuel, food is expensive, among other things, and even APC members are criticizing the conspicuous misery, as Adeyeri has already stated.
