Acting Chairman of the Accord
Party (AP) in Ogun State, Adeyemi Alli, has announced his defection to All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
He disclosed this on a radio
programme in Abeokuta, yesterday.
Alli alleged that he was
sidelined by leaders of the party led by Chief Doyin Okupe and others who just
joined the platform.
Alli further alleged that despite
being Acting Chairman, nobody informed him about the inauguration of the party
secretariat held last week.
Alli said he and some aggrieved
members of the party had concluded arrangements to join APGA “because of this
injustice. We are leaving”.
Reacting, AP South West Chairman,
Ojo Kayode, said the party was aware of Alli’s defection, describing him as
“mere acting Chairman”.
Recall that Alli last month
declared that Okupe is not a member of the AP.
He spoke at a meeting with the
state executives in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State.
“The attention of the party has
been drawn to persons claiming to align with the Accord Party known as the
‘Ogun Integrity Group’ allegedly belonging to Okupe”, he said.
“While we are open to having more
people join us in propagating our vision, due process has to be followed.
“We are not stopping anyone from
joining Accord Party so far such persons or groups meet our conditions of
membership”.
