APM Challenges APC's Defection Claims in Oyo Politics
The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Oluyole Local Government Area has rejected reports of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC), labeling them as a manifestation of the APC's political anxiety ahead of the 2027 elections. Ayokunle Shonaike, the APM Publicity Secretary, stated that the APC's claims were unfounded and merely a product of their imagination.
He criticized the APC for celebrating the alleged defection of over 1,000 APM members, asserting that those involved had been expelled from the APM for anti-party offenses. Shonaike emphasized that Oluyole is a "no-go" area for the APC and questioned the legitimacy of the APC's claims, noting the absence of verifiable evidence to support their assertions.
He argued that genuine political realignment should be reflected in identifiable structures and electoral performance, rather than inflated figures announced during party events.
