The former Chief of Staff, along with 32 APM leaders, reportedly moved to the APC in a move that could strengthen the party’s structure in Oyo State ahead of future elections.
Their decision to join the APC is seen as a major political shift, especially because the group had previously been aligned with the APM.
The defection may affect the balance of political power in Oyo State, as the APC continues to position itself for upcoming elections.
Political watchers believe the move could give the APC more grassroots support and weaken the influence of other parties in the state.
The development has generated reactions from party members and supporters, with many waiting to see how the new defections will affect the political landscape in Oyo.
The former Chief of Staff’s move is expected to attract more attention as political activities continue to build up ahead of the 2027 elections.
