The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Uche Secondus has welcomed the Ondo State Deputy Governor, Mr. Agboola Ajayi to the party on Monday.
Secondus also said Ajayi will add value to the party.
He, however, added that the deputy governor, who had earlier indicated an interest in contesting the governorship election, would not be imposed on other aspirants of the party.
Ajayi made a formal declaration of his defection to the PDP from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Secondus, who spoke at the party secretariat in Akure on Monday, said the PDP would take over the state after the election as he welcomes Ajayi and other 34 defectors from the APC.
The PDP National Chairman said, “The APC has damaged the security and the economy of Nigeria. Everybody has seen that the APC is taking us to nowhere. I believe Ajayi is coming to the PDP to add value and to make a difference.
“We in the PDP do believe the constitution of the country and the constitution of our party. We are one family. Ajayi is not coming to alter any rule. There would be free and fair primary. Everybody has equal rights in the party. We are not going to impose any aspirant on others because our target is to take over the state.”
