Senator Ajagunla Returns to PDP Ahead of 2027 Elections

Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla, representing the Osun Central Senatorial District, has rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier in the year. The Osun State Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Sunday Bisi, described Ajagunla's return as a courageous and timely homecoming, emphasizing that it validates the PDP as the natural political home for progressive-minded individuals.

Bisi criticized the APC for becoming inhospitable to principled politicians, citing internal oppression and greed. He expressed joy at Ajagunla's return, which he believes reassures PDP members of the party's commitment to justice and inclusion.

Notably, Ajagunla is the PDP's senatorial candidate for the Osun Central Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections, and his return is seen as a significant boost to the party's preparations for future electoral contests. Bisi also mentioned the recent departure of Hon. Rabiu Adesina from the APC, suggesting a trend among politicians seeking a more supportive political environment.
