Over 200 Ex-Councillors Join APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
More than 200 former councillors and their supporters have defected from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oke-Ado, Ibadan. This event took place on a Tuesday, with the defectors vowing to deliver votes for APC candidates in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
The APC welcomed the defectors at its party secretariat, with notable figures such as the state chairman, Otunba Moses Alake Adeyemo, and former Senate Leader Senator Teslim Folarin present. Hon. Muili Kazeem Arowodana, the leader of the defectors, stated that their decision to leave the APM was influenced by prolonged maltreatment and dehumanization experienced under Governor Makinde's administration.
Arowodana characterized Makinde as difficult to work with in both public administration and governance. The defectors committed to supporting APC's mobilization efforts as Oyo State is anticipated to be highly competitive in the upcoming elections.
