Three Reps members (2 from Osun & 1 from Edo) dump PDP, defect to APC by Nemere2020(op): 1:49pm On Jul 23, 2025
Ajilesoro - Ife Central/East/North/South Federal Constituency
Omirin - Atakunmosa East/Atakunmosa West/Ilesa East/Ilesa West
Onobun - Esan West/Esan Central/Igueben

Three lawmakers elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

They are Hon. Ajilesoro Taofeek Abimbola and Hon. Omirin Olusanya, both from Osun State as well as Hon. Marcus Onobu from Edo State.

Their notices of defection were conveyed through separate letters read by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen at resumed plenary on Wednesday.

In their respective letters, the two lawmakers cited protracted internal crises, unresolved divisions within the PDP and the need to join President Bola Tinubu in repositioning the economy as the reasons for their defections.

The APC national secretary, Senator Suraj Ajibola, who hails from Osun State, accompanied by some other party officials, was present on the floor of the House to witness the defection of the lawmakers.

In his reaction, the minority leader of the House, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, asked Speaker Tajudeen Abbas to comply with constitutional provisions and declare the seats of the defectors vacant.

Responding, Hon. Abbas, who presided over the plenary, merely told the leader of the opposition that his point of order was noted.

There are two kinds of Nigerian politicans. Those in the ruling party and those trying to get into the ruling party.

Only mavericks like sowore or people with mass cultic following like the late buhari can afford to stay in opposition

By 2027, atiku will only have one or two governors by his side, just like Obi

He best bet is Obi as his VP

Na wa oh. These APC defections no dey get season. The 2027 APC victory will be very loud. i fear for the anti APC, the last time Tinubu beat them silly, they've since lost it completely. You hear them and sigh in pity, they can't process or reason like humans again, i'm really genuinely afraid for what happens to them after this loss. Our psycho wards can't take them all, we'll need private investors.
It's not funny at all, i know what i'm saying.

The illiterate INEC / Judiciary appointed Governor who cannot read & write properly threatened to demolish his house and two weeks later he defects to APC ! After everything PDP for him - making him Speaker of House of Assembly & also getting to Reps- shameless coward !!!

Still the useless coalition that has refused to coalesce is not worth defecting to.

They'll win thru one party and run to another when things go south to continue stealing.

Conditions for decamping should be strict and brutal to avoid nonsense.

First. Relinquish ur position before decamping.
And more strict rules

Idiots

All of the politicians in Nigeria are 1m, Nigerians are 200m

Do the Arithmetics, If the living conditions improve we move with the ruling party and if things remain same as same APC is going out.
Re: Three Reps members (2 from Osun & 1 from Edo) dump PDP, defect to APC by Kalulu44: 3:26pm On Jul 23, 2025
Honestly if I have my way in this country, nobody should be allowed to decamp from the party that gave he or she the platform to be in any elective position until after the 4yrs he or she was elected. How can party A B or C sponsor and campaign for you to be where you're and after about 1 or 2yrs you will now jump ship to another party that didn't labor for your emergence.
Anyways it's not their fault, it's we the electorate that will just be looking like zombie instead of making sure that person doesn't return to that seat again by voting them out.

People like obi won't have been known cos Atiku brought him to limelight when he contest along side him in 2019. He was not a popular governor and most of igbos insulted him on this platform. We have the record.

No, because all they want are their own shelf self self. People voted them on a platform because they trust that platform more than the other but they betrayed their trust for them and the platforms they were Voted for. That's where the person you quoted based his comment

It is mostly politicians with active portfolios that are defecting to the APC.

On the other hand it is only politicians whose careers are dead or almost dead that are defecting to the ADC grin

Atiku/Obi ticket couldn't defeat Buhari when PDP was intact is it now that PDP has become a caricature of itself loosing always almost all important members every minute that they will defeat Tinubu? Do you think there be up to three senators or Governor in PDP by 2027? I heard Asiwaju was secretly begging most pdp leaders not to defect to APC again so that the one party stigma won't stick as we can all see in the Adeleke saga. When was the last time you heard from Elrufai and his basket mouth son?
