Why I decamp from PDP Hon Alagbada

A TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY HON. EBENEZER ADE ALAGBADA, HONOURABLE MEMBER REPRESENTING ISE ORUN CONSTITUENCY IN EKITI STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY ON THE OCCASION OF HIS DEFECTION FROM THE PDP TO THE ALL PROGRESSIVE CONGRESS. ON 19TH JUNE, 2018.

I welcome you to this press briefing. I have consulted my leaders and the good people if my constituency in Ise Orun Local Government that elected me as Honour able member of Ekiti State House of Assembly before this press conference.

I have also obtained their fukk consent before this historic declaration.

I’m aware and it is an historical fact that during the 2014 PDP primary, Governor Ayo Fayose promised my constituency, Ise Orun, the governorship after his tenure.

We were therefore very hopeful when two of our illustrious sons, Prince Dayo Adeyeye and Barrister Owoseeni Ajayi camevout to show interests to contest for the PDP gubernatorial candidate.

My constituency was therefore shocked and surprised when non of the two aspirants from my constituency was found worthy of support by the governor.

Not only did he disdain them but worked ruthlessly to ensure their manipulation out as candidate of the PDP in preference for the Deputy Governor, Prof Kokapo Olusola Eleka who was no where when we risked everything to ensure the victory of the governor both at the primary and General Election.

Prince Dayo Adeyeye and Barrister Owoseeni Ajayi have since left in protest to join the APC. My constituency too who elected me into the House of Assembly are also aggrieved and have directed me to follow suit with my leaders.

Consequently, in accordance with the directive Od the good people of Ise/Orun constituency of Ekiti state House of Assembly, I hereby resign as the Deputy Majority Leader of Ekiti State House of Assembly and my membership Od the Peoples Democratic Party due to irreconcilable breaking into factions of the PDP in Ekiti state following the rancorous gubernatorial primary.

I also use this Opportunity to announce my defection to the All Progressives Congress forthwith.

Thank you and God Bless.
