An aspirant for the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship ticket in Osun State, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi has disclosed that efforts by Governor Ademola Adeleke to join APC is not a problem for his guber ambition.

This is as a thousand PDP members led by Adediran Adebayo join the APC to support Ogunbiyi’s aspiration in the party.

Speaking after expressing his interest in contesting for the ticket at the Party Secretariat in Osogbo on Thursday, he said the struggle by the incumbent governor to join APC is not a source of worry to him.
