Six members of the House of Representatives from Oyo State have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
The lawmakers are: Anthony Adebayo, Adedeji Olajide, Sunday Makanjuola, Oyedeji Oyeshina, Fola Oyekunle and Adigun Adekunle.
Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced their defection on Tuesday during plenary after the Sallah break, while reading 13 letters from lawmakers switching parties.
The Oyo reps cited the protracted internal crisis and leadership tussle in the PDP as reason for leaving, saying they needed a political alternative for 2027.
The defection means Governor Seyi Makinde now has 6 out of the 14 Oyo Reps in the APM, after his own defection to the party.
