Osun Assembly speaker, Adewale Egbedun
The Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, has led 24 other members elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the Accord Party.
It was gathered that the lawmakers took the decision on Friday after their meeting at the Assembly complex.
The decision, It was gathered, was to solidify Governor Ademola Adeleke’s hold on the Accord Party ahead of the governorship poll scheduled for August 15 this year.
It would be recalled that the governor had, in December last year, joined the Accord Party while the lawmakers remained in the PDP until their decision on Friday.
When contacted, the Speaker’s spokesperson, Olamide Tiamiyu, confirmed the report, saying the 25 PDP elected lawmakers have joined Accord Party while the only APC lawmaker remains in the opposition. (Vanguard)
