Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the chances of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, further received a boost as the deputy chairman of the Labour Party in Oyo state, Mayoress Olubukola Olayinka, defected to the party in the state with hundreds of her supporters and followers.

Declaring her intention to dump her former party, Olubukola urged Nigerians to vote for Atiku, warning them not to be swayed by empty promises from politicians who believed the number one seat in Nigeria was a souvenir they could take turn to get even in the face of what she called the monumental failure of the present federal government.

While berating the leadership of LP in the state, she described Atiku as a unifier who has the political capacity, experience, and integrity to unite Nigerians.
