APC Chieftain Adedokun Adegboyega Joins APM in Oyo
On August 2, 2023, Adedokun Adegboyega, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Secretary of the Oluyole Local Government in Oyo State, defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) along with several political followers. The defectors were welcomed by Engr. Akeem Olatunji, the executive chairman of the council, at his residence.
Notable defectors included Akindele Tajudeen, who resigned as the APC Ward 9 Chairman, Alhaji Lateef Oladoja, and others from various wards. Adegboyega, previously allied with Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, is recognized as a significant grassroots mobilizer.
Hon. Nasiru Hamzat, the Oluyole APM Chairman, welcomed the new members, emphasizing their decision as a sign of confidence in the APM's leadership under Governor Seyi Makinde. Olatunji described the defection as indicative of the APM's growing popularity in Oluyole and Oyo State, positioning the party as a formidable force ahead of the 2027 elections.
