Hundreds of members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ido local government, Oyo State, have defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The defection was facilitated by Engr. Aderemi Oseni, the lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido federal constituency at the House of Representatives, through his Remi Oseni Committee of Friends (ROCOF).
Oseni, who is the Chairman, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), described the event as unprecedented in the history of Ido local government.
He affirmed that APC will defeated PDP in 2027 and return to power in Oyo, come 2027 general elections.
“It is beyond human opinion, God has been the one driving this project and that is why we’ve been receiving over 1500 members of PDP in Ido local government, decamping into Remi Oseni Committee of Friends in APC.
“It is something that is unprecedented, it is something that is unimaginable and in the history of politics in Oyo State. I think this would be the first of its kind and on that note,
“We give all glory to God and we are still expecting more, and we would be moving from local government to local government receiving all PDP and all other political parties, who would be decamping to APC via the vehicle of Remi Oseni Committee of Friends movement.
“We are committed to a common goal, and that common goal is for us to ensure that we work tirelessly, to ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is returned to power in 2027, by the grace of God,” Oseni said.
