Ondo SDP deputy governorship candidate defects to APC, Aiyedatiwa excited
Mrs. Susan Gbemisola Alabi, a former Social Democratic Party (SDP) deputy governorship candidate in Ondo State, has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He added that improvements in infrastructure and services would soon reach the Akoko North West area.
