Mimiko The defection took place at the weekend in the oil-rich Ugbo community, in Ilaje Local Government Area.
At ward two in Ayetoro community, no fewer than three thousand supporters of the LP parted way to join the ACN.
Their leader, Mr Olasele Ebun alleged neglect of the community by the Mimiko administration. He described the area as the "goose that lay the golden eggs."
Besides, the coordinator of the Southern Solidarity Forum (SSF), Mr. Goke Ijatuashe, debunked report that the former commissioner for works in the state, Yele Omogunwa was in the ACN.
According to him, Omogunwa was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before decamping to the LP, a party to which he has retraced his step.
The leader of the defectors said their exit from the LP was in solidarity with a special adviser to the governor, Saka Lawal, whom he eulogised for his steadfastness and contribution to the victory of the LP in the past.
The defectors, who took turns to address party supporters were formally presented to Lawal by the ward secretary, Mr. Ogayemi Muda.
Muda said no single project has been initiated and completed in the whole of Ilaje community in the past three years.
"It is irritating that the interventionist agency, the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC) failed to use the 40 per cent of the 13 per cent oil derivation accruing to the state from the Federation Account to develop the area," he said.
Among the defectors are: the chairman of Ayetoro LP, Mr. Ebun Olasele, the Secretary, Ogayemi Muda, Ojajuni Akingbemi, Ajinde Osefatu, Dupe Dede, Obasuwaye Kayode and Obadian Dare, Omogbehinwa Gabriel, Finukonu George, Smagbeyi Omoyemi, Felicia Azikwe, Dadaowo Oke, Dadaowo Orolo, Odusola Silipana and Lemamu Roseline.
On the list are: Biobaku Samuel, Odusola Oba, Odusola Ibimisan, Ilesanmi Megan, Olasele Abodun, Ogayemi Ireoluwa and Ogbolo Mary among others.
