“The reason I am taking this action is known to all of you. I listened to the advice from all supporters across the state The Ese Odo Local Government will continue to witness peace and progress .
“It is a painful thing that I am leaving the APC but there is time for everything. As a Nigerian. I have the fundamental freedom to belong to any party or group.

At the secretariat of the PDP in the same ward where he announced his return to the party and collected his party card, he said: “Like I said earlier, everybody all over the world knows why I left the APC. Some hours ago, you all know what happened to me at the Government House but I am a man of peace.”
Describing the action of the Commissioner of Police, Bolaji Salami at the Government House as a show of shame, he said the Police Commissioner turned himself to a useful tool in the hands of desperate politicians.
Ajayi said the attitude of the Ondo Police boss showed Nigeria was not ripe for state police.
Ward 2 chairman of the PDP in Apoi, Mr Festus Oboro, said the PDP would be further strengthened.
Oboro said Ajayi would add value to the party in the state.
