Former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja has perfected plans to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Vanguard can authoritatively reveal.

A chieftain of the PDP and former Minister told Vanguard correspondent in confidence that Ladoja’s decision to defect to ADC was not unconnected with alleged plans to impose Engineer Seyi Makinde as the Oyo State PDP governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections. The former governor is also said to be worried about what our source described as the lack of internal democracy in the management of the affairs of the party by the Oyo state chapter.

On Ladoja’s possible destination, the erstwhile Minister said the ex-governor will not join the All Progressives Congress (APC) for “obvious reasons,” adding that he has his mind up on his next move.

Pressed to reveal where the ex-federal lawmaker is headed, he said, “He’s very likely to join the ADC. Stalwarts of that party have been reaching out to him in recent times and I believe they now have their man."
