Nigerians Attack Agboola Ajayi For Dumping PDP ‘For ZLP’

A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted the decision of Ondo State Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and possibly move to Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

Naija News had reported earlier that the Ondo Deputy Governor officially resigned his membership of the PDP just seven weeks after initially joining the main opposition party from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party.

This online news platform understands that the defection of the Ondo Deputy Governor from the PDP was confirmed in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Allen Sowore. The statement said Ajayi’s decision to dump the PDP was based on the need to respond to his people’s call to contest the 2020 governorship election in Edo State.

Earlier, the PDP Chairman in Apoi Ward II of Ese-Odo Local Government Area in Ondo State, southwest Nigeria, Festus Oboro acknowledged receipt of Ajayi’s resignation letter on the 9th of August, 2020.

In his letter, the Deputy Governor thanked the national leadership and members of the PDP for their warm reception and acceptance in the short period he rejoined the party.

However, apparently displeased with the decision of the former APC and PDP chieftain dump both parties ahead of the Ondo 2020 election in a very short period of time, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to berate Agboola Ajayi with many saying he is a man who is after his ambition and not the welfare of the people of Ondo State.

Naija News captured some of the reactions below…

MHA Tomide, you are being delusional to think Agboola Ajayi is the headache of APC and PDP in Ondo State!

It is understandable for you and your party – the ZLP – to be happy about his defection. A new political ATM has been discovered by your party. https://t.co/lweuBgt6Zd

Agboola Ajayi is highly experienced and want to make sure Ondo State get the best leadership.

PDP didnt give him a chance and those who desire to make a difference, must be different.

You all are busy slamming Agboola Ajayi for jumping from APC to PDP to ZLP, how come nobody is congratulating ZLP for producing a Deputy Governor?
