Osoba was among the chieftain of the party as he played a very prominent roles during the formation of the party.
The ex governor left the APC after a melee that ensued between him and his estranged political son and the current governor of Ogun state,Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
The crisis was so much tensed that the whole state was very hot with the fight between the two gladiators then.
All the three serving Senators and seven out of the nine federal lawmakers with some state lawmakers went with the former governor to joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
This cost the federal lawmakers their return plan as they all lost to the APC candidates.
