Deputy governor of Ondo State, Hon. Agboola Ajayi has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The deputy governor, according to his Media Adviser, Allen Sowore, in a statement, in Akure, said that Hon. Ajayi’s decision to resign “was as a result of the call on him by a majority of the good people of Ondo State to give hope to the hopeless, provide credible and purposeful leadership in our dear state.
“The deputy governor has, therefore, reassured his teaming supporters to remain focused and committed as he will be announcing his next line of action shortly.”

The media aide said his principal appreciated the National Leadership and members of the party for their warm reception and acceptance in the short period he rejoined the party.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the PDP in Apoi Ward II of Ese-Odo Local Government Area, Festus Oboro, has acknowledged the receipt of the resignation letter on 9th of August, 2020.
Recall that Ajayi rejoined the PDP on June 21 2020, at his home town, Kiribo. He later contested in the governorship primary but lost to Eyitayo Jegede.
It is believed that Ajayi would, on Tuesday, defect to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) to contest for the governorship election.
The party has adopted him after it replaced his name with that of its candidate, Rotimi Benjamin who was elected during the party’s primary early this month.
