Oyo Senator, Adesoji Akanbi dumps APC, joins ADC
Akanbi, has reportedly dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC), in Oyo State and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC),
DAILY POST reports.
Akanbi, who was elected in 2015, registered himself as a member of the
African Democratic Congress (ADC) at his Ibadan North West Local
Government Area on Thursday.
Akanbi, we gathered decided to leave the APC following the insistence
of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of the state to return to the Senate where
he left in 2007.
The lawmaker was a member of the House of Representative during the
aborted third republic.
He had written a letter to Ajimobi as a way to persuade the governor
to allow him go for another term in the red chamber.
Akanbi in the two-page letter entitled "Request for guidance/directive
on my next political move", dated 28th August, 2018, a copy which was
obtained by us on Saturday, said he wrote the letter in order to
honour the governor, being the leader of the party and to seek his
favour to have second term ticket to the red chamber under APC.
