Oyo Lawmaker Peter Oyetunji Leaves APM Before 2027 Elections

Hon. Peter Oyetunji, a two-term member of the Oyo State House of Assembly representing the Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere state constituency, has officially resigned from the Allied Peoples' Movement (APM). He submitted a formal resignation letter to the APM state chairman on Tuesday, October 6.

Oyetunji directed the party to remove his name from its register at the state, local government, and ward levels. He cited nearly eight years of unfulfilled promises to party members and a lack of meaningful government-led development in his Surulere local government as primary reasons for his resignation.

Additionally, he criticized the internal culture of the APM, describing it as high-handed and undemocratic, alleging that members advocating for accountability were often targeted. After seven and a half years with the party, Oyetunji stated he could no longer justify his continued membership, marking a significant blow to Governor Seyi Makinde's political camp ahead of the 2027 general elections.
