All three members of the Ogun State House of Assembly from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The lawmakers’ defection was announced in separate letters read by the Speaker of the Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, during plenary in Abeokuta on Tuesday.

The lawmakers, who announced their defection during plenary are Jemili Akingbade, (Imeko Afon), Adegoke Adeyanju (Yewa North 1) and Wahab Haruna (Yewa North 2).  

According to them, they had decided to join the progressives to further contribute their quota to the development of the state after due consultations with constituents and supporters.

Responding, the Speaker congratulated them for joining the ruling party, adding that their arrival into the APC would be for the development of the party and the state at large.

Recently, seven members of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) decamped to the APC.

As of now, the APC has 25 out of the 26 members that make up the Ogun Assembly, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has one member.
