Nine members of the Oyo State House of Assembly on Tuesday announced their defection from the party on whose ticket they won their seat to a new party.

The defection which saw five members of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) dumping the party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), three members of the Accord party and one member of the Labour Party also joined the ADC.

The defectors were led by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Abdulwasi Musah with their letters of defection read on the floor of the assembly by the Clerk of the house, Mr Paul Bankole during plenary.

Other members who defected include Mr Lukman Balogun (Labour Party to ADC), Mr Bolaji Badmus (APC to ADC), Mr Azeez Billiaminu (Accord to ADC) and Mr Ganiyu Oseni (APC to ADC).

Others are Mr. Olusegun Olaleye (APC to ADC), Mr Samson Oguntade (Accord to ADC) and Mr. Muideen Olagunju (Accord to ADC).

With the defection of the nine members the ADC now have 12 members against the ruling APC whose membership strength stands at 18 members and the People’s Democratic Party left with 2 members in the house.

Also during Tuesday plenary, the house appealed to the Oyo state government to urgently come to the rescue of the state owned institutions with bailout funds and upgrade of subventions released to the institutions.

The appeal followed the discussions on a motion brought to the plenary by Mr Olaleye (Ibadan North 2 state constituency) entitled “financial bailout and improved subvention to Oyo state territory institutions.”

Hon Olaleye said the speedy approval of bailout fund to state tertiary institutions in the state will prevent them from total collapse.

In their separate contributions, the speaker Mr Olagunju Ojo and some members emphasized the need for government to take proactive steps by improved subvention given to the tertiary institutions for the advancement of education sector.

Also the Chairman parliamentary council Mr Olusegun Ajanaku presented a motion on the need to renovate the Obafemi Awolowo stadium for improved services.

The motion co-sponsored by Mr. Olusegun Ajanaku and Mr Fatai Adesina enjoined the federal government to hand over the management of stadium to the state for proper restoration and maximum utilization for promotion of sporting activities.

The house in their unanimous decision urged Federal government to allow state to manage the maintenance of the stadium.

I have never seen anything that crash so quick as APC. Indeed who God has rejected, man also reject


By Feb 2019 we only have buhari, Adams Oshiomhole, Lai Mohammed, Chidia maduekwe, Amaechi, the burkutu lady left in APC

APC propaganda party is dead and rejected

With the way things are going APC will not only loose the presidency by 2019 but will loose majority of their states.

Osun and Oyo state are not in the same categories

No ripple effect here

Good, anything to weaken APC structures

No body wishes to identify his/herself with failure.
That's human for you.
APC had an opportunity to give a good name to herself but
wasted it.
Their dead in 2019 will be exclusive.

Ajimobi is in tensed battle with lamists, that's enough ripples already

Those people who defected are Adebayo Shittu men in the house of assembly. The APC structure in oyo state is for Ajimobi, I can guarantee that shittu will contest for governorship under ADC, he is just moving his men before he defects.

If you know, you know.

Yorubas are finally having their own stronghold party

Apc is dead in sw that's all

Doesn't that show that you're not a body?

Hope they we vote theirselves

Ajimobi has finally destroyed APC in Oyo State. All the LAMIST (UNITY FORUM) that decamped, their eyes will soon clear that it will hit them (APC) hard come 2019. Practically they have lost all their big wigs to ADC, even the guy Olatunbosun Wasiu who played a very crucial role in selling Ajimobi for second term has also decamped. And Ajimobi is still blowing nose that they have no electoral value. Lols. He will learn by 2019.
