Adetimehin also urged them to use their political experience and influence to work for the success of all candidates of APC in the forthcoming general elections.
“If 300 people left a political party, it means a lot, and at the grassroots for that matter. Idanre is full of progressive people. I can assure you now that any time, any day, APC will win Idanre Local Government in 2023 general elections,” he said.
