Carpet crossing: Osun PDP Loses Another Prominent Figure to APC
Shuaib Oyedokun, National Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dumped the party to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State.
Oyedokun, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees and founding member of PDP, defected with some chieftains of the party, including Prince Dotun Babayemi.
The decision of the ex-National deputy chairman of PDP was contained in a letter dated May 16th 2024 to the leadership of the party through the Ward 13 Chairman to Local, State and National Secretariat.
According to the letter; “He stated: “As a functional member and leader of PDP (Ward 13, Jagun/ Osi-Bale Ode, Odo-Otin South Local Government, Osun State,) whose high electoral productivity and value have been credibly and positively acknowledged in my ward, across the local council, state and country-wide for the enhancement of the fortune of the PDP, I have the honour (though with pain) in announcing the renunciation of my membership of the party on principle, having observed that the ideals of we, founding members, had been sorely contaminated.
In taking this step which is not even without due consultation with my teaming loyalists in the PDP, I have consequently decided to shift my allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) where I believe my experience, efforts and leadership roles would be valued and appreciated.
I thank you.
