Ex-Speaker Defects From PDP To APC

APC and PDP

Osun governorship election, is just one week ahead and a PDP Chieftain in the State, Mr. Adejare Bello, a one time Speaker of the State House of Assembly, on Friday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the Daily Post, Bello, a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had on Monday resigned his membership of the party.

The report has it that he was Speaker of the state assembly between 2003 and 2011 on the platform of the PDP.

The decampee, in his resignation letter addressed to Mr. Soji Adagunodo, the PDP state chairman, said that he resigned his membership because the party has drifted from the ideals of its founding fathers.

Bello, however, was received into APC by Gov. Rauf Aregbesola, at its mega rally in Ede on Friday.

Responding to the allegation that he received N100 million to defect to APC, he sais no such thing happened.

Bello while campaigning for the APC, appealed to people of the state to massively vote for Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, in the forthcoming gubernatorial election, adding that the APC candidate has better plans for the state.

Gov. Aregbesola, remarking on the development, commended the former speaker for joining the party, and described the bold action as “right step in the right direction.”

The governor appealed to the people of the state to vote for the party for continuity.

Aregbesola assured the people that the party would not disappoint them if voted again into power.
