2027: Ex-Oyo LG chair, Oladeji dumps APC for APM
by Musliudeen Adebayo · Daily PostA former Chairman of Aare Latosa Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Oyo State, Hon. Adekunle Oladeji, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oladeji, who left the APC, has joined the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
DAILY POST gathered that Oladeji served as chairman of the LCDA during the tenure of the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
The LCDA is one of the LCDAs under Ibadan North Local Government Area.
Our correspondent gathered that Oladeji’s father, Alhaji B.A.O. Oladeji, served as Oyo South Senatorial District Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), one of the political parties that merged to form the APC between 2014 and 2015.
His father remains a major stakeholder in the APC in the state.
DAILY POST gathered that while the father remains a key figure in the APC, the son has moved to the APM.
It was learnt that the younger Oladeji has publicly declared his support for the APM governorship candidate, Mr. Bimbo Adekanmbi, and Governor Seyi Makinde, who is the party’s presidential candidate.
Oladeji, when contacted, confirmed the development to DAILY POST on Saturday.
Speaking, he noted that he had dumped the APC and joined the APM ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a short message sent to DAILY POST, Oladeji said the news of his defection to the APM was true.
“Yes. It is confirmed,” he said.
