…As Osun SSG finally dumps APC for ADP***

Addressing a press conference on Monday in Abuja, the aspirants said while they were not against the return of defectors; they were against people with negative values even as they described Ortom as a liability. “The governor of Benue State today is a liability, not an asset. He’s not welcome,” said John Tondu, one of the aspirants.

In the meantime, the current Secretary to Osun State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, has finally dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Action Democratic Party (ADP).

Adeoti had on Friday withdrew at the last minute from participating in the primary election of the APC over allegation of manipulation to favour the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola.
