An All Progressives Congress (APC) member in the Oyo State House of Assembly Hon. SImeon Adegbola Oyeleke has defected from the party to join the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Hon. Oyeleke who was elected in 2019 on the platform of APC to represent Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere Constituency was welcomed by the members of PDP in the Assembly and was presented the PDP flag in  a brief ceremony held in the House of Assembly

The Lawmaker in his defection letter which was read by the Assembly Clerk, Oludara Awe noted that he left APC because of unresolved Internal dispute.
“APC in Oyo State has failed to uphold the tenets of democracy especially as it relates to justice and equity in its dealings with party faithful. I can’t continue to be in a party that does not value my interest and that of my supporters.’’
“The PDP has shown great potential in Oyo State and it remains the party to beat at all levels in 2023.”

The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin while welcoming the Lawmaker to PDP commended his decision to join the PDP in the State..’’
