Ayo Fayose, governor of Ekiti, says Dayo Adeyeye, former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, was not a loyal member of the party.
Adeyeye, who unsuccessfully contested the Ekiti PDP governorship primary election, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
Fayose reacted to Adeyeye’s defection in a statement issued by Lere Olayinka, his special assistant on public communication and new media.
“His move will not in anyway affect us,” he said.

“This is because majority of those he thought were behind him did not defect with him.
“In fact, one of his two party agents for the last primary is still with us in PDP and you know what that means.
“If somebody is your party agent and could not go with you to another party, it tells a lot and even as he is moving from PDP, many others from APC are coming to us, so we have nothing to lose with his defection.

“While he was the PDP national spokesman, he had spoken terrible things against the APC and he has now gone to join the same party.”
He added that he holds no grudge against Adeyeye because he has the right to move from one political party to another.
