Lere Oyewumi Defects from PDP to Accord Party

Lere Oyewumi, the Senate Deputy Minority Leader representing Osun West, has officially defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party. This announcement was made in a statement obtained in Osogbo on Monday.

Oyewumi's defection marks a significant political shift in Osun State, particularly following the earlier defections of three other members from the PDP to the Accord Party. The move is seen as a response to irreconcilable differences within the PDP and aims to strengthen representation for the people.

The registration ceremony for Oyewumi's formal membership in the Accord Party took place in his hometown, Ward 9, Irewole Local Government Area, where he was warmly received by party members and the Osun State Chairman of the Accord Party, Victor Akand. Oyewumi's decision underscores his commitment to effective leadership and the welfare of the people in Osun State throughout his tenure in the Senate.
