He said, “Of all the political parties in Ondo State, APC is the only united party in the state. 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 to 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 grassroots strength of the PDP totally collapsed into the APC. All the former Vice Chairmen and 203 former Councillors defected to the APC. In Idanre, Chairman of the PDP Elders Forum joined the APC. The PDP has gone into extinction in Ondo. It is now my duty to manage the APC in Ondo State.
