Ogun State Governor and APC leader Dapo Abiodun formally receives hundreds of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) members into the ruling APC. The defectors are said to include party leaders across the nine local government areas in Ogun East Senatorial District, with the reception taking place on Friday.
Both outlets link the move to Abiodun’s wider political effort to mobilise Ogun East for the 2027 elections. Vanguard also notes that Abiodun is set to flag off the Ago-Iwoye–Ibadan road on Monday, framing the mobilisation alongside planned infrastructure activity. The Daily Post Nigeria’s report similarly describes a large turnout of defectors and highlights Abiodun’s effort to consolidate APC support in Ogun East. Across the two sources, the central points are the formal defection, the parties involved (PDP and ADC), and the APC’s push for the 2027 contest in Ogun East.
