Fayose Meets Aregbesola After Dumping PDP, Eyes ADC Move

Barely 24 hours after resigning from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a former governorship aspirant, Otunba Emmanuel Fayose, has met with Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

An Ekiti-born politician, who preferred anonymity, confirmed that Fayose is already in talks to pitch his tent with the ADC.

During the consultation visit, Aregbesola was said to have encouraged him to “join” ADC without further delay, assuring that the party remains open to strong grassroots leaders.

Fayose had on Thursday released a widely publicised video where he described the PDP as a “compromised party,” accusing its leadership of being “stooges for the ruling party, APC.”

His sudden meeting with Aregbesola has further fuelled speculations that his political base may now shift to the ADC as the party continues to position itself as an alternative force ahead of the next general elections.
