2027: Big blow for Makinde as APM chieftains, members defect to ADC in Oyo
Scores of chieftains and members of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogo Oluwa and Surulere Local Government Areas of Oyo State have defected from the party to the Action Democratic Congress (ADC).
The defectors announced their decision to leave the APM during an event held at the weekend.
The group was led by Apostle Taiwo Olaleru and Alhaji Bashiru Ganiyu, who joined other former APM members in declaring their support for the ADC.
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.
The duo maintained that they decided to join the ADC in order to work for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
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.
He then used the opportunity to urge them to work towards the progress of the party.
