All plans have been perfected by the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressive Congress to receive at least eight serving members of the Oyo State House of Assembly from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This according to OYOINSIGHT was revealed on Sunday in Ibadan by a PDP lawmaker who preferred to remain anonymous.
Aside from the lawmakers, notable leaders of the ruling PDP are also set to join the APC in the state.
According to the lawmaker, the planned defection is because the lawmakers were denied party tickets to contest the 2023 elections.
”It’s sad we will losing them. They have spoken to them. The governor has assured that he would consider them for appointment if he is re-elected but they don’t trust his words. It is so sad,” the lawmaker added.
OYOMIND recalls that barely three weeks ago, the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Engr Rauf Olaniyan decamped to APC from PDP.
The development is coming barely 3 weeks after the deputy governor, Raufu Olaniyan dumped the ruling party for APC.
