Speaking on behalf of other former leaders of the ruling All Progressive Congress, High Chief Adubiaro, said that: “the desire to reverse the current trend of lack and want in the nation and the belief that there is a need for a rebirth for a better tomorrow informed their decision to part ways with a Party that is ineffectual in administering the nation.
The ward women leaders who had weeks ago resigned from the APC, expressed their solid determination to join hands with Hon Agboola Ajayi to rebuild Ondo State.
