Why I dumped APC – Reps member, Segun Ogunwuyi opens up

A member of House of Representatives representing Ogbomoso
North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire in Oyo State, Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi has
opened up why he left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and
joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ogunwuyi, who confirmed his defection through a statement issued on
his behalf by Peter Adegbola Ayoade, his Media Aide, revealed that he
took the decision to dump APC due to what he described as intractable
crisis in the ruling APC in the state.

He added that the crisis, "had forced some members to join other parties".

Ogunwuyi disclosed that his constituents mandated him to defect
following the unending crisis caused by alleged high-handedness of
Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who runs the party as a sole administrator.

Ogunwuyi said "I took the decision due to intractable crisis in the
APC in Oyo state, which had forced some members to join other parties.

"Besides, my constituents mandated me to resign, following the
unending crises caused by alleged high-handedness of Governor Abiola
Ajimobi, who runs the party as a sole administrator."

He said that the division in APC had gotten to an irreconcilable level
as some persons were running the affairs of the party like sole
proprietors, adding that his defection to PDP was supported by his
constituents.

He said in the statement, "My decision to leave the APC for PDP is
supported by the leaders and constituents of my constituency.

"This is considering the troubling fact of division within the
national and state leadership of the party. After wide consultations
with my constituents, I have been advised to formally defect to PDP so
that we can together actualize our vision of moving our Constituency,
Oyo state and Nigeria at large forward. Therefore, may I kindly inform
all here of this formal decision in this plenary.

"While I assure you of my highest esteem, be further assured of my
total commitment to the legislative agenda of this 8th National
Assembly".
