The mass defection is coming ahead of this week’s governorship and house of Assembly elections in the state.
The former House of Representatives candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) in 2019, Abeokuta South federal constituency, Akeem Amosun, and his teeming supporters also unanimously endorsed governor Abiodun for second term in office
Speaking at an event in Idi-Aba area of Abeokuta, where he and his supporters met with the governor, Amosun said his supporters are made up of mainly traders, artisans and civil servants who are not politicians, promising to deliver 50,000 votes to the governor in the governorship election.
