Three serving commissioners in Oyo State, a Special Adviser and some local government political functionaries, who are members of the African Democratic Congress have defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The Honourable Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun stated this in Ibadan, while addressing Pressmen on the latest move by some members of ADC in Oyo State.

Olatunbosun gave the names of the Commissioners that decamped to include, Hon. Seun Ashamu of the Ministry of Energy & Mineral resources; Hon. Adeniyi Adebisi of the Ministry of Agricultural resources, and himself.

The Commissioner also announced that the Special Adviser on Budget & Economic Planning, Gbenga Oyekola, some other appointees at the State level and ninety-three appointees and elected representatives at the local government level also dumped ADC for the ruling party.

He said the move was birthed after much consultation with party leaders at the ADC, saying the ruling party is now a party of choice in Oyo State.
He added that the Governor Seyi Makinde led administration has fulfilled its part of the bargain, therefore they owe it a matter of duty to work for Engr. Seyi Makinde’s re-emergence in the coming general elections.

“You are aware that H.E. Governor Seyi Makinde has fulfilled his promise with our leaders and we feel we should do everything to ensure he wins his second term bid”, he said.

Olatunbosun charged his fellow decampees to work with the existing members to ensure that Engr. Seyi Makinde emerges the Executive Governor of Oyo State in 2023.
