Hundreds of supporters of Senator Saliu Mustapha in Oke-Ogun Ward, Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State, have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The defectors, led by Mr Abdulwaheed, a former APC ward chairman, cited their loyalty to Mustapha as the primary reason for their decision.

The PDP Chairman in Oke-Ogun Ward, Alhaji Woly, praised the defectors for their courage and assured them of equal treatment within the party. Hon. Atolagbe Alege, a former Kwara State Commissioner for Health and PDP chieftain, also welcomed the new members and urged unity among party supporters.
