Adeyemi announced his defection to the ruling party while briefing newsmen in Abuja on Friday, April 8. 2016.
He said he joined the APC to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to develop every part of the country, especially his Kogi West constituency.
While urging his supporters to troop to the APC, he said dumping the People's Democratic Party (PDP) was not regretful.
