Barring any last-minute change of mind, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the November 16, 2024 Ondo State governorship election, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, is set to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hon. Ajayi’s move follows his formal withdrawal of the appeal he filed at the Supreme Court challenging the outcome of the election.
He said the decision to withdraw his petition at the apex court came after wide consultations with his family, associates, party members, and legal advisers.

Reacting, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa disclosed that Ajayi had already indicated his readiness to join the APC in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“In fact, Hon. Agboola Ajayi has told me personally that he is coming to join the APC. I am waiting for him so that we can work together to build a greater Ondo State,” Aiyedatiwa said on Channels TV.
