Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, the former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This transition was announced by Rauf Aregbesola, the former Governor of Osun State and current ADC National Secretary, via a post on his X account.

The formal reception for Jegede and other defectors from both the PDP and All Progressives Congress (APC) took place at NEPA Park in Akure, Ondo State. Aregbesola, alongside ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and other party leaders, welcomed Jegede and his supporters into the ADC.

Aregbesola stated, “Today, I joined the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alh.
