“My unwavering commitment for truth, justice, equity and fair play and after full consultations with my supporters throughout the 33 local government of Oyo state, I, Azeez Popoola Adeduntan, Osi Bashorun Of Ibadanland hereby resign my membership of APC effective today ,Tuesday February 21st and defecting to PDP to support my brother Engr Seyi Makinde for a well deserved 2nd term and Bola Ahmed Tinubu ,as the next president of Nigeria.”
He said other than his experience in Labour Party, his subsequent experiences with party primaries in 2015, 2019 and 2022 in PDP and APC were same with act of electoral fraudulent.
“Fraudulent ticket holders in APC are now prowling the streets and roads of the state as legitimate candidates.
“A man that cannot stand for truth, equity, fairness and justice, will fall for anything.”
For OYO state indigenes and our youths especially it is important to point out to them that the worst form of corruption is electoral fraud as it imposes unwanted candidates on the populace who will never answer to the voters but the fraudulent elements that implanted them into offices.”
Adedutan who also contested for APC governorship primary in Oyo State said for oyo state to move forward all must shun fraud and electoral corruption.
He said since he had been excluded through fraud and electoral heist, it is necessary to move on with his political journey.
“Of the three Oyo candidates ,we have found Engr Seyi Makinde the current Governor to be the best man that can move Oyo state forward using all key performance indicators.
Similarly,we have found Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the best at the presidential contest.”
