A chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ibadan North East local government area in Oyo State, Chief Kunle Ayorinde has dumped the party and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ayorinde, who hails from Ita Baale area, made this declaration while speaking with DAILY POST Wednesday evening.
The retired civil servant noted that he was one of the people that worked for the success of Governor Seyi Makinde in 2019.
He, however, alleged that he was not compensated for the job he did.
Ayorinde said that he made attempts to see the governor but that that the power that be in Makinde’s government blocked him.
He said “We worked for the victory of the party in 2023 with the hope that we should be compensated by Governor Seyi Makinde.
“Unfortunately, instead of compensating us, the power that be blocked all access to see him (governor) and explain our views to him.
“Politic is work and be compensated. Governor Seyi Makinde is a good leader, but some people are working behind him to stain his name”.
