THE numerical strength of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Monday, increased by 6,000 with the defection of members of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun East senatorial district, to the party.
The defectors led by a former Youth Ambassador of Nigeria to the United Nations, Mr. Abayomi Mighty, said their reasons for defection into ADC was because of the party’s ideology of integrity and togetherness.
Mighty who was a strong member of AD before his defection said the opportunities provided for the youths was another reason why they had to join ADC.
