Simeon Oyeleke, a member of the Oyo State House of Assembly who represents the Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere seat, has defected from the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP.
The legislator claimed he left the APC because the party did not uphold fairness and equity among its members in a conversation with journalists on Wednesday.
Oyeleke said: “I am now a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and no more a member of the APC. This is official now. Thousands of my supporters have joined the PDP with me.
“As a matter of fact, the decision was taken together with my supporters. I can’t continue to be in a political party that does not respect democratic tenets and ideals and value my political interest.”
