Former Ogun PDP Chairman Joins APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Dr Sikirullahi Ogundele, the former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with other former state executives, including Akinloye Bankole, Oyejide Sunkanmi, and Kemi Adeyemi. The defection was marked by a reception at the Asade Agunloye Pavilion in Ilaro, attended by APC state Chairman Chief Yemi Sanusi, Ogun West Senatorial Chairman Alhaji Azeez Ekweme, and Governor Dapo Abiodun, among others.
Ogundele criticized the PDP, likening it to a "burning house" and warned that remaining in the party would be "political suicide." He urged APC supporters to dismiss doubts about Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola's roots in Ogun. Sanusi welcomed the defectors, emphasizing their integration into the APC, while Governor Abiodun called for door-to-door mobilization in preparation for the 2027 elections.
