Scores of chieftains and members of the ruling Allied Peoples Movement, APM, in Ogo Oluwa and Surulere local government areas of Oyo State have exited the party
APM is Governor Seyi Makinde’s party.
The APM chieftains and members dumped the party for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Their defection was announced at the weekend.
The APM chieftains who joined the ADC were led by Apostle Taiwo Olaleru and Alhaji Bashiru Ganiyu.
Olaleru and Ganiyu, while speaking on the rationale behind their defection to the ADC, alleged that the APM, which is the political party of the present administration in the state, is full of deceit and lies.
Olaleru, in his remarks, said: “We have discovered that we need to move to a better party and we see the ADC and its governorship candidate, Olooye Adegoke, as a place we should move to and the person we can trust.”
Ganiyu, in his contribution, said it was their belief that the party would bring dividends of democracy to the people of their area.
He said: “We are pleased to be in his party and we prayed that his aspirations to govern the state will be crowned with victory.”
The defectors were received into the ADC by the governorship candidate of the party, Chief Adegboyega Adegoke.
Adegoke, in his remarks, assured the new members of equal opportunities like other members.
