A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Senator Felix Ogunwale, has stated that he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the coalition party because of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
It would be recalled that the former Senator who represented Osun Central Senatorial District in the Senate between 2003 and 2007, in May, submitted his resignation from the PDP in Ward 01, Iragbiji.
Speaking on a radio programme in Osogbo on Monday, Ogunwale said he knew Governor Ademola Adeleke would not be welcome in the ADC because he had already pledged his support for President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “When rumours came out that Governor Ademola Adeleke wants to join our party, I told some people that it is not possible because Adeleke had gone to pledge his support for President Bola Tinubu and the ADC will also have its presidential candidate. So, how will his coming to ADC be possible?
“I left the PDP because I wanted to follow Atiku Abubakar to the ADC, and I knew that the Osun State government might not want to decamp to the ADC.
“Atiku is my leader and I will always respect his opinion politically on any issue before I take action.”
