The Oyo State governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke (FCA), has received defectors from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogo-Oluwa and Surulere Local Government Areas of Oyo State into the ADC.
Adegoke received the defectors during his thank-you visit to Ogbomoso area of Oyo State.
The defectors, who came out in hundreds, pledged their loyalty to the ADC and further pledged to work for the success of the party in the forthcoming elections.
Speaking on behalf of the defectors, Apostle Taiwo Olaleru and Alhaji Bashiru Ganiyu said they had discovered that the APM was an offshoot of the present administration, and was full of deceits and lies, adding that they were delighted to join the ADC.
Apostle Olaleru said, “we have discovered that we need to move to a better party and we see the ADC and its governorship candidate, Olooye Adegoke, as a place we should move to and the person we can trust.”
Also speaking, another leader of the defectors, Alhaji Ganiyu said they were happy to join the ADC, adding that “we hope the party will bring dividends of democracy to the people of their area.
“We have also been hearing about Olooye Adegoke and his philanthropic efforts. We are pleased to be in his party and we prayed that his aspirations to govern the state will be crowned with victory.”
In his response, Olooye Adegoke assured them of equal opportunities with other members, urging them, however, to be dedicated and work towards the progress of the party.
Speaking earlier on Friday in Iseyin, Olooye Adegoke promised the people of Oke Ogun the establishment of a specialist hospital that would cater for the medical needs of the people of the zone.
“I have the plan to establish a specialist hospital in the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State to take care of the health needs of the people,” he said.
He added that the establishment of the hospital would also come with its attendance benefits, such as infrastructural and economic development of the zone.
He also said he was going to uplift the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Iseyin Campus, noting that LAUTECH College of Agricultural Sciences and Renewable Natural Resources in Iseyin would receive his attention when he assumed power next year.
