PDP's Hammed Ademola Joins APC with Thousands of Supporters
Hammed Ademola, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party for the Ibadan North-East State Constituency 2 in the 2027 general elections, has abandoned his PDP ticket to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State. Alongside Adedapo Ojo, an Accord aspirant, Ademola led over 3,000 supporters in this defection on a Friday.
Ademola, known as Lucky, stated that his decision was influenced by the political realities in the state, asserting that any ticket outside the APC would be ineffective in the upcoming elections. Ojo echoed similar sentiments, labeling Accord a political distraction and urging voters to support the APC.
Chief Moses Alake-Adeyemo, the Chairman of the APC in Oyo State, welcomed the new members and assured them of equal opportunities. Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the APC governorship candidate, promised an inclusive administration if elected in 2027, emphasizing the need for preparation for the elections.
He also assured civil servants and pensioners of timely payments and plans for healthcare improvements across local government councils.
