The ruling People's Democratic Party in OndoState has been dealt a huge blow following theexit of two key members in Governor OlusegunMimiko's cabinet.
Two cabinet members of the Ondo state
government have defected to the All Progressive
Congress, The Nation reports.
The state's Commissioner for Community
Development and Cooperative Services, Mrs
Yetunde Adeyanju on Tuesday resigned her
appointment and announced her defection.
Giwa Rasheed, a special assistant to Governor
Olusegun Mimiko, also resigned and defected to
APC.
Following the defection, Adeyanju said a great
weight has been lifted off her shoulder as she's left
a party where impunity reigns.
"In the last seven years, I have served in various
executive capacities in the state. I started as
executive chairman of Ondo State Waste
Management Board, moved to head Ondo State
Development Company Limited as executive
chairman and finally, as commissioner in the
Ministry of Community Development and
Cooperative Services.
"Wherever I served, I discharged my duties with
utmost dedication and unassailable integrity;
notwithstanding the culture of greed, avarice and
absolute disregard for the masses.”
“It is, therefore my great pleasure to renounce my
membership of PDP and announce my membership
of APC.”
