As the governorship election draws nearer in Osun state, three members of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state House of Assembly have defected to the Action Democratic Party.
They lawmakers who gathered at the state party secretariat in Osogbo, cited nepotism in the former party as reason behind their defection.
The defectors; Hon. Debo Akanbi, representing Ede north, Hon. Tajudeen Famuyide representing Ilesha west and Hon Abdullahi Ibrahim representing Iwo local government were received by the chairman of the party.
While Hon. Debo Akanbi was addressing the supporters and members of ADP he said, “We know the foundation of All Progressives Congress in the State and we agreed with Governor Aregbesola to spend eight years in power not that when his leaving he will anoint a candidate.
“We kick against nepotism in the party and many more supporters of APC are still coming to ensure the victory of Monshood Adeoti coming September 22.”
The decision of these lawmakers most especially, Hon Famuyide who hails from Ilesha just as Governor Rauf Aregbesola, to team up with the former Secretary to the State government, Alh Moshood Adeoti, who is the candidate of ADP signals a thick political permutation and keen election come September 22.
