Why I joined ZLP — Ladoja

FORMER Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, on Thursday, finally declared his defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

He cited irreconcilable differences in the decision making, especially in the allocation of tickets to candidates, non-inclusiveness, alleging that the leadership of ADC which takes major decisions are invincible to major stakeholders in the state.

Senator Ladoja, who was flanked by the governorship candidate of ZLP, Barrister Sharafadeen Alli and some of his close allies, stated this while addressing journalists at his Bodija residence, in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, before addressing his supporters on his final decision to join ZLP.
