The Ondo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Ade Adetimehin, has declared that the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has gone into extinction in the state
The APC chairman dispelled rumours of division in the party.
Adetimehin said all the stakeholders in the party are united under the leadership of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Speaking at an interactive session with journalists in Akure on Monday, Adetimehin said Governor Akeredolu never interfered in the day to day running of the party.
He said the leadership style of Governor Akeredolu over party affairs ensured unity and cohesion of various stakeholders from the unit level to the state level.
The Ondo APC chairman said opposition party members were attracted to the APC due to cohesion within the party.
He said, “Of all the political parties in Ondo State, APC is the only united party. There is no division and we are rancour free. We work together under the leadership of Governor Akeredolu. He is a man that believes in the supremacy of the party. He never interferes in the running of the party. He allows the party to function effectively. That is what brings unity of the party and makes us the strongest political party in the state.
“That is why many members of opposition political parties are coming to join the APC in Ondo State. Three days ago, the grassroot strength of the PDP totally collapsed into the APC. All the former Vice Chairmen and 2003 former Councillors defected to the APC. In Idanre, Chairman of PDP Elders Forum joined the APC. The PDP has gone into extinction in Ondo State,” he added.
