The member representing Ibadan North II constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly Honourable Olusegun Olaleye has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Tribune reports.
The lawmaker announced his decision on Thursday, June 28, as he answered questions on why he wore the same Ankara attire worn by members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the state Assembly to show solidarity with recently elected Honourable Debo Ogundoyin, representing Ibarapa East constituency.
It was gathered that Olaleye did not try to hide or deny his association with the PDP; stating that he had aligned himself with whatever party former Governor Rashidi Ladoja belonged to, as he had become a disciple of the PDP strongman.
He further disclosed that his decision was informed by what he described as a political and ideological departure in happenings in the APC. He stated:
“Life is about dynamism; and before, I was under the political tutelage of Late Lam Adesina. Few weeks ago, I decided to take another historic, spiritual and political decision to be under the tutelage of a political leader in the state, former governor Rashidi Ladoja.
“I am under him presently and wherever you find him politically, there you will find me.
