Fayose’s ally Aluko dumps PDP for APC

A former state secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State and a strong ally of ex-governor Ayodele Fayose, Dr Tope Aluko, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Aluko was formally received into the party by the APC state chairman, Paul Omotoso, at Ward B Secretariat, in Iyin Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun LGA of the state.

Addressing party leaders, Aluko said: “If you are from Iyin Ekiti, you will know that Governor Kayode Fayemi really favoured us in elective and appointive positions, so I am coming to add value to this party. I am not here to cause trouble.

“They have given me the guidelines and I am ready to abide by it in the interest of discipline in our party.”

Aluko said his defection won’t strain his relationship with Fayose, whom he described as a mentor, brother and friend.
