OGUN DEP. GOVERNOR, ADESEGUN, OSOBA, 3 SENATORS AND 6 REPS. MEMBERS TO DUMP APC

There are indications that former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, and the Deputy Governor, Segun Adesegun, may have defected from the All Progressives Congress(APC) to the Social Democratic Party(SDP).Three APC senators from the state and 6 members of House of Representatives are said to have joined the SDP train. The Senators are Adegbenga Kaka, Gbenga Obadara and Akin Odunsi, who represent Ogun East, Ogun Central and Ogun West respectively. The members of the House of Representatives are Kunle Adeyemi, Babatunde Olabode, Olumide Osoba, Abiodun Abudu, Odeleye Kehinde and Bukunola Buraimo. Their defection is coming a few days after the resignation of Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s Senior Special Assistant on Environment, Abayomi Odunowo. This is following the stinker Adesegun had on October 24 sent a stinker to Amosun, accusing him of starving his office of funds, and allocating old vehicles to him.

Confirming this, Obadara said, “Yes, I am in the SDP. But it has not been made formal; we are in the process of making it formal. In fact, all the senators and members of the House of Representatives are also in the SDP. We are out to rescue Ogun State from recklessness and provide good governance. We are not going to run a government of my friends, my school mates and my family.” The deputy governor on his part disclosed that, “Osoba is our leader, I am talking about politics in Yorubaland. Nobody can create leaders for us in Ogun State”. About 20 billboards of the SDP, a party with same acronym under which the late acclaimed winner of the June 12,1993 presidential election, late Chief Moshood Abiola contested, had flooded the capital city of Abeokuta.
