Defection: Akinlade officially received by PDP chieftains in Abeokuta


By Jumoke Adeogun, Abeokuta

The State Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Hon. Sikirulahi Ogundele on Friday formerly received former governorship candidate of Allied Peoples Movement APM Hon. Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade of All Progressives Congress (APC) into the fold.



Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu who was the Governorship candidate of People's Democratic Party PDP was received the Amosun godson alongside the Hon. Sikiru Ogundele-led State Working Executive of the party at the PDP secretariat, Oke-Mosan despite the heavy rain fall.

Hundreds of party faithful also defied the rain to welcome Hon. Adekunle Akinlade and his loyalists into the party.



Akinlade was a Governorship aspirant on the platform of APC for the 2023 election but lost to the incumbent governor Prince Dapo Abiodun who’s now the party flag bearer.

He was the former governor Amosun’s anointed candidate in the 2019 before deserting the party to form the Allied     People’s Movement (APM).

There is speculation that Akinlade will serve as Ladi Adebutu running mate on the platform of PDP for the 2023 election.
