Scores of chieftains and members of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogo Oluwa and Surulere local government areas of Oyo State have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The defectors, who announced their move at the weekend, were led by Apostle Taiwo Olaleru and Alhaji Bashiru Ganiyu.Olaleru and Ganiyu said they left the APM, the party of the current state administration, because it was “full of deceit and lies.”
They stated that they joined the ADC to work for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“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,” Olaleru said.
Ganiyu added that they believed the party would deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of their area.
“We are pleased to be in his party and we prayed that his aspirations to govern the state will be crowned with victory,” he said.
The new members were received by the ADC governorship candidate, Chief Adegboyega Adegoke. He assured them of equal opportunities with other members and urged them to work for the progress of the party.
