The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Olagunju Ojo, the Minority Leader, and five other lawmakers on Tuesday defected to three different parties.

The Clerk of the House, Mr Paul Bankole, read the separate letters of defection by the lawmakers during the plenary session in Ibadan.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Speaker (Labour Party-Orire), Mrs Wunmi Oladeji ( Labour Party-Ogbomoso North) and Solomon Olukayode (Labour Party-Ogbomoso South) defected to All Progressives Congress (APC).

Gbenga Oyekola ( Labour Party-Atiba) and Peter Oyetunji (Labour Party-Ogo Oluwa/Surulere), on the other hand, defected to African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) respectively.

The Minority Leader, Mr Ademola Ige (Accord Party-Ibadan South-East II) and Mr Fatai Adesina (Accord Party-Ibadan South-East I) defected to ADC.

Meanwhile, the house has appealed to the Commissioner of Police in the state, Abiodun Odude, to make conscious efforts to put a stop to gang-related crimes and violence in Oyo town.

The assembly also urged the commissioner to deploy competent police units to tackle the dastardly activities of criminal gangs.

This followed a Matter of Urgent Public Importance raised by Mr Muideen Olagunju (Accord Party-Oyo East/Oyo West) during the plenary.

According to Olagunju, the dramatic upsurge in gang warfare within the town has resulted in residents living in fear as well as property damage and deaths.

“The acts of violence are traceable to battle for supremacy among bands of youths in certain black spots within the town.

“During these battles of attritions, the gangs engage in spates of physical attacks, maiming, property damage, looting and sadly, killings.

“More often than not, innocent citizens bear the brunt of these acts of violence especially in Agunpopo, Balogun, Apara, Apinni, Ilaka, Akesan Motor Park, Iseke and Tengbe.

“It calls for concern that in spite of the fact that Oyo town and its environs have four Divisional Police Headquarters, one Area Command as well as a unit of SARS, it appears the gangs are controllable with low rate of arrests and prosecution of offenders,” he said.

The Speaker directed the House Committee on Security and Special Duties to convene, charge and monitor relevant authorities to act swiftly to curtail violence.

OYO politics is dynamic. You can't even beat your chest and say which party the next governor would come from.

which kind double tittle and mopped heading be this?

The last election the term used to describe when a candidate move to another party was DECAMP now is DEFECTION, Who knows next term to use? Maybe is CROSSOVER

Okay.polithiefians sha.pls my siggy nid ur visit

Politicians selfishly playing game with our destiny

The members from Ogbomoso are Akala boys who won election under Labour party when Akala was their governorship candidate. So nothing change because it's assumed they are to be APC members since Akala left. My thought!

Transfer is getting hotter

What kind of endtime defections is this.?

This must be one funny house of assembly. The party composition is hilarious.

Hmm

The speaker of Oyo House of Assembly was in Labour Party and not APC?
That's surprising and it's quite commendable that the governor allowed it

Defectors are simply rebels. Infidelity is there watchword and can't be trusted.From PDP to APC and back to PDP . Their flexibilities and inconsistency plunged this country into confusion. Administration with mass corrupt officers without adequate qualifications who actually receive their degree/ NYSC certificates from oluwale street in Lagos island. Even their commander in chief is half illiterate and sick.

In the coming months there will be more and more defections
