A member of the House of Representatives representing
Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Honourable Shina Abiola
Peller, has left the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Peller, who is an indigene of Iseyin in Oke Ogun
geo-political zone in Oyo State, made this announcement via a letter addressed
to the Chairman of his ward.
Our correspondent recalls that Peller was elected on the
platform of APC in 2019.
He was one of the aspirants who vied for Oyo North
Senatorial District seat on the platform of APC in the recent primary election.
The lawmaker has however renounced his membership of APC.
Peller, in the letter he personally signed and addressed to
APC Ward 9 chairman, Koso in Iseyin Local Government Area, insisted that he
took the decision after due consultation with his people.
The lawmaker said that undemocratic conduct of some party
chieftains particularly in Oyo State has shown that the people from the
grassroots and the youth will continue to be at the mercy of the few at the
top.
He alleged that some people within the party imposed their
preferred candidate against the wish of the people.
He maintained that he left the APC because his people have
asked him to do so.
He explained further that he decided to join politics not
for selfish reason but the overall interest of Nigerian youths and the people
of Oke Ogun.
He said, “I write to formally inform you of the renouncement
of my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I took this decision after due consultation with my people
from the Oke Ogun region and beyond who feel humiliated by the undemocratic
acts and decisions of some gladiators within Oyo State APC.
“President Muhammadu Buhari preached bottom-to-top approach
driven APC, but the undemocratic conduct of some party chieftains particularly
in Oyo State has shown that the people from the grassroots and the youth will
continue to be at the mercy of the few at the top, who impose their preferred
candidate against the wish of the people, as recently witnessed in Oyo North
Senatorial District where I belong.
“My people have therefore decided that we withdraw our
membership of the APC, and I totally align with them as I delved into politics
not for selfish reason but the overall interest of Nigerian youths and the
people of Oke Ogun. So. I hereby renounce my membership of the APC”.
