The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Saturday in Ibadan declared the death of opposition parties in Oyo State.
Tinubu spoke during a mega rally at the ancient Mapo Hall, while receiving former Gov. Adebayo Alao-Akala, former Senate Leader, Teslim Folarin and hosts of others into the APC.
Others who officially defected to the APC are Sen. Brimoh Yusuf, Chief Ayodele Adigun, Hon. Asimiyu Alarape, Hon. Dokun Odebunmi, Hon Ademola Ojo, Chief (Mrs) Olanrewaju Otiti, Mr Rauf Olaniyan and Funke Adesiyan.
The Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, Governor Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), and Governor Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), joined Tinubu to receive the defectors.
Also, the event coincided with the 68th birthday of Ajimobi.
Tinubu said, “Today is very important because of the governor’s birthday. I really thank God for my friend, Alao-Akala and others for joining the APC.
“I also thank God for Folarin and Amb. Taofeek Arapaja too.
“This APC house is great for all of us. I am confident that today’s massive defection into the APC has finished opposition parties in Oyo State.
“We are happy to have you in and we are proud of our party.”
