Hon. Oladiji Oguntudo, representing Akure South Constituency I, and Hon. Raymond Oluwatoyin Daodu, the Deputy Minority Leader representing Akoko South West Constituency I, announced their defection during Thursday’s plenary session presided over by Speaker Olamide Oladiji in Akure.
Their move follows weeks of speculation after both lawmakers resigned from the PDP last month, citing unresolved leadership crises and internal divisions within the party. In their resignation letters, the duo explained that their decision came after thorough consultations with their families, constituents, and political stakeholders, who advised them to align with the state’s ruling party.
With their defection, all 26 members of the Ondo State House of Assembly now belong to the APC, effectively consolidating the party’s dominance in the legislature.
Welcoming the defectors, Speaker Oladiji applauded their decision and described it as a positive development that would further strengthen the APC’s legislative unity. He also commended President Bola Tinubu for his leadership and praised Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his progressive governance, urging the new members to contribute actively to the party’s continued success and the development of the state.
