In a significant political shift, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ondo State has witnessed a massive influx of new members as thousands defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Okitipupa Local Government Area.

In a significant boost to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ondo State, Mr. Sola Agboola, a prominent party chieftain, has reconciled with the party's gubernatorial candidate, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye (OBA), effectively strengthening the party's position ahead of the November 16, 2024 gubernatorial election.

Akure, Ondo State - July 11, 2024 In a bold move, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye (OBA), the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the upcoming Ondo State governorship election, has launched a scathing attack on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, accusing him of flouting court orders and undermining democracy through recent appointments to local government bodies.

In a statement issued by Hon. Jimmy Akinyan, State Secretary of the Ondo SDP, the party dismissed these claims as "cheap false news" and a "chirade-for-money gimmick." Akinyan asserted that the individuals involved in the purported structure collapse, including Mr. Tope Ajulo and Dr. Shola Agboola, are not members of SDP and do not represent the party's interests. The statement clarified that both Mr. Ajulo, who…
