10 APC exco members and over 6000 party members defect to ADP in Osun

The Deputy Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Azeez Adesiji, today defected to the Action Democratic Party ADP with eight other Exco members and 6,200 party faithfuls following suit.

Announcing their defection from APC, Adesiji said their defection was caused by “nepotism, impunity and unconcerned attitude” of the decision makers in party at the state level and also by the state government towards the citizens of the state, among other reasons.

 ” I, Alhaji Azeez Issa Adesiji and other state exco members wish to make it known to you all about our defection into this new, credible, alternative party because of impunity and undemocratic practices witnessed in our former party, the All Progressives Congress, Osun State, which is unbecoming of an acclaimed progressive party. Among the 780 local government executives in APC in Osun State, 580 are moving with me the deputy state chairman of the party to our new party, the Action Democratic Party, Also, among the 8,632 executives at the ward level in the APC, 5,620 are also joining the train to our new party, Action Democratic Party.”

This mass defection comes barely two weeks after 15 Senators, 32 house of representatives members and two seating governors defected from the ruling party to the PDP.
