Alfred Agboola Ajayi (born 24 September 1968) is a Nigerian politician, lawyer, and businessman[1] who served as deputy governor of Ondo State from 2017 to 2021.[2][3]
On 21 June 2020, Ajayi resigned his membership from the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) and defected to the opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing irreconcilable differences between him and his governor, Rotimi Akeredolu[4][5] and that the APC party 'has become a poisoned space'.[6] He then joined Zenith Labour Party after losing the PDP gubernatorial primaries to Eyitayo Jegede.[7] He was the 2020 gubernatorial candidate of Ondo State in Zenith Labour Party led by former governor Olusegun Mimiko.[8]
