A former state Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Ebenezer Alabi, has resigned his membership of the party and defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a letter addressed to the Ward 11 chairman of the PDP in Akure North Local Government Area of the state, Mr. Alabi said he decided after wide consultations with his family members, political associates, friends, and followers.
Mr. Alabi, former Chairman of PDP and Akure North local government in his letter of resignation dated July 18, 2024, he cannot co-habit with some political leaders whose aim is to make financial fortunes at every cycle of election in the state.
He said the large chunk of money sent for mobilization during the past general elections ended up in the private pockets of these leaders at the detriment of the party’s victory.
According to him, Some of them found it easy to extort money from many aspirants during primary elections and ended up allocating delegates’ votes to them in the proportion of amounts coerced to cough out.
