Former Commissioner Funmilayo Ogun Joins APC, Backs Tinubu
Funmilayo Ogun, who previously served as the Commissioner for Works under former Governor Ayodele Fayose, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). This defection was announced during a ceremony at her home in Orin-Ekiti, where she expressed her support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji and President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ogun stated that her initial motivation for joining the PDP was to serve the people of Ekiti, but she became disillusioned with the party's direction. She emphasized that her move to the APC was not motivated by ambitions for political positions but aimed at strengthening the party from within.
Ogun plans to initiate grassroots campaigns across wards in Ido/Osi Local Government Area with her supporters. APC's Ido/Osi Local Government Area chairman, Hon. Adewumi Aina, welcomed her, highlighting her value to the party.
Ogun's political experience and network are expected to enhance the APC's support in the local government.
