A former Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Mr. Banji Okunomo, has dumped the party for Zenith Labour Party.

Okunomo contested at the governorship primary of the PDP but got 90 votes.

His name was among those presented to the PDP governorship candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, to be picked as running mate but Jegede refused.

Okunomo announced his resignation from the PDP at Domfav Hotel in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.

He is said to be heading for the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) to join forces with Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and Hon Agboola Agbo.

He said he was leaving the PDP alongside 15, 000 members across the 18 local governments areas of Ondo State at a formal declaration to be announced later. (The Nation)
