Also, a source close to the governor told Daily Trust that talks was ongoing about Ajayi’s next political movement.
Ajayi resigned his membership of the APC after months of a political battle with Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
He immediately joined the opposition PDP at Ward 2, Apoi in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
However, he was defeated at the governorship primary election of the PDP by Eyitayo Jegede.
