The candidate of Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosu in the 2019 governorship election, Abiodun Akinlade, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Allied People’s Movement (APM).
Akinlade, who represents Egbado south and Ipokia federal constituency of Ogun, in the house of representative, announced his defection on Thursday in Abuja.
Akinlade lost the governorship ticket of the APC to Dapo Abiodun, a development that did not go down well with governor Amosun and his supporters.
Three other members of the lower legislative chamber also moved to other parties. They are Rabiu Kaugama from Jigawa who moved from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Salisu Koko from Kebbi who also joined APC but from SDP and Mohammed Ajanah from Kogi who defected from APC to PDP.
