Two lawmakers from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo – Hon. Oladiji Oguntudo and Hon. Raymond Oluwatoyin Daodu – have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oguntudo, who represents Akure South Constituency I, and Daodu, the Deputy Minority Leader representing Akoko South West Constituency I, announced their defection during Thursday’s plenary session of the Ondo State House of Assembly in Akure.
The defection of the two lawmakers from the PDP to the APC makes it a total of 26 legislators dominating the House of Assembly with no opposition.
Their defection came a month after the duo resigned from the PDP, citing leadership tussles and deepening internal crises within the opposition party.
In their separate resignation letters, the lawmakers explained that their decision to join the ruling APC followed extensive consultations with family members, constituents, and political leaders, who advised them to align with the state’s governing party.
Before their defection, Oguntudo and Daodu were the last remaining PDP members.
Welcoming the new members, Speaker Oladiji commended their decision, expressing optimism that their defection would further strengthen the APC’s numerical advantage in the House.
He lauded President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and described the development as a welcome boost for the ruling party in the state.
The Speaker also praised Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his progressive governance, urging the defectors to contribute meaningfully to the party’s growth and collective success.
