Adekunle Akinlade, the governorship candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in the 2019 election in Ogun State, has emerged as the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of next year’s election.
Akinlade, after his defection into the PDP on Friday, was announced as the running mate to Hon. Ladi Adebutu, who won the PDP primary election in Ogun State.
While accepting to run on the same ticket as Adebutu, Akinlade said his decision to join the PDP was for the good of Ogun State.
According to him, the decision was not an easy one to take, but the sacrifice must be made.
“It might not be the most popular decision to take, but I believe it is necessary. Where we have found ourselves today in Ogun State needs that every sensible indigene of this state must be ready to make a sacrifice,” Akinlade said.
