No fewer than 500 supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State, have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
They were all received into the APC during a campaign rally that took place in Iragbiji, the hometown of Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ismail Omipidan, on Tuesday, said the defectors attributed their defection to the convincing manner Oyetola has been managing the affairs of the state.

Adding that they are fully ready to support Oyetola with their votes in the July 16 governorship election.
Oyetola while addressing the crowd that attended the rally, commended their efforts and appreciated their support for his administration.
He further assured that if re-elected, his second term “would be more rewarding and resourceful, as the first term was a foundation for a brighter future.”
The governor also urged citizens who were yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to do so, to enable them exercise their civic duty during the forthcoming governorship election.
