A member of House of Representatives representing Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire in Oyo State, Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi has opened up why he left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ogunwuyi, who confirmed his defection through a statement issued on his behalf by Peter Adegbola Ayoade, his Media Aide, revealed that he took the decision to dump APC due to what he described as intractable crisis in the ruling APC in the state.
He added that the crisis, “had forced some members to join other parties”.
Ogunwuyi disclosed that his constituents mandated him to defect following the unending crisis caused by alleged high-handedness of Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who runs the party as a sole administrator.
Ogunwuyi said “I took the decision due to intractable crisis in the APC in Oyo state, which had forced some members to join other parties.
“Besides, my constituents mandated me to resign, following the unending crises caused by alleged high-handedness of Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who runs the party as a sole administrator.”
He said that the division in APC had gotten to an irreconcilable level as some persons were running the affairs of the party like sole proprietors, adding that his defection to PDP was supported by his constituents.
He said in the statement, “My decision to leave the APC for PDP is supported by the leaders and constituents of my constituency.
“This is considering the troubling fact of division within the national and state leadership of the party. After wide consultations with my constituents, I have been advised to formally defect to PDP so that we can together actualize our vision of moving our Constituency, Oyo state and Nigeria at large forward. Therefore, may I kindly inform all here of this formal decision in this plenary.
“While I assure you of my highest esteem, be further assured of my total commitment to the legislative agenda of this 8th National Assembly”.
