Ondo PDP defectors, led by Jegede, join ADC; Atiku, Aregbesola attend

Eyitayo Jegede, former PDP governorship candidate in Ondo State, defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with supporters, citing a need to rescue the state from the ruling APC. Former VP Atiku Abubakar and ex-governor Aregbesola received the defectors, signaling realignment ahead of elections. The move is a notable shift in Ondo's opposition landscape, though its electoral impact remains uncertain.
