OSHOGBO, Osun, Nigeria – The wind of defection blowing round the country today landed in Osun State with Deputy Chairman of the All Progressive Congress(APC), Mr. Azeez Adesiji and 6,200 other members of the party moving on to the Action Democratic Party(ADP).
Chairman of the ADP, Mr. Toye Akinola who received the APC leaders and their followers at the secretariat of the party in Osogbo today said “nepotism, impunity and unconcerned attitude” of the decision makers forced him and others out of APC.
“I, Alhaji Azeez Issa Adesiji and other state exco members wish to make it known to you all about our defection into this new, credible, alternative party because of impunity and undemocratic practices witnessed in our former party, the All Progressives Congress, Osun State, which is unbecoming of an acclaimed progressive party,” he said.
“Among the 780 local government executives in APC in Osun State, 580 are moving with me, the deputy state chairman of the party, to our new party, the Action Democratic Party,
“Also, among the 8,632 executives at the ward level in the APC, 5,620 are also joining the train to our new party, Action Democratic Party.” Responding, Akinola expressed happiness with the defectors, saying they would all be accommodated.
