He is expected to seek the party's ticket to contest in the state's September 22 gubernatorial election.
Moshood Adeoti, the current Secretary to the Osun State Government of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the All Progressives' Congress (APC), has defected to the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
Adeoti was an aspirant for the APC's primary ticket for the September 22 gubernatorial election but withdrew from the primary election, conducted on Saturday, July 21, 2018, alleging that the party was manipulating the process in favour of the governor's Chief of Staff, Gboyega Oyetola, who eventually won the election.
He gad alleged, "The primaries was arranged, skewed and designed to favour Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Otedola, the cousin of the National Leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu."
According to a report by The Punch, Adeoti was present at the ADP secretariat with hundreds of his supporters on Monday, July 23.
He is expected to seek the party's ticket to contest in the election as Aregbesola's second term as governor comes to an end.
In his letter of resignation from the APC, Adeoti said he's committed to the progress of Osun State "in whatsoever capacity I find myself in the future".
