The immediate past Secretary to Ondo State Government (SSG), Mr Ifedayo Abegunde is set to dump the All Progressives Congress(APC) and join the deputy governor of the state, Mr Agboola Ajayi, in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Abegunde, on Monday resigned his appointment from the government of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
It was rumoured three weeks ago that Abegunde will join Ajayi in moving to the PDP but he denied the story.
However, sources close to the former SSG have now disclosed that there had been a frosty relationship between him and Governor Akeredolu.
One of the sources disclosed that the SSG would soon join the PDP ahead of the October 10 governorship election in the state.
After his resignation on Monday, Abegunde said his next move politically would be communicated within the next 24 hours.
