Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi Dumps APC For ADC in Oyo

The gale of defection continues in Oyo state as another serving Senator Soji Akanbi is moving out of All Progressives Congress  to African Democratic Congress ADC.

Senator Akanbi representing Oyo south senatorial district was said to have met with the ADC leaders to perfect his defection plan and that clears the air on the insulation that he may leave the party.

With him in the ADC, the new party now has 2 senator while APC is left with Senator Abdulfatai Buhari from Oyo North.

His decision to quit the ruling APC was said to have been caused by the decision of the governor Abiola Abiola Ajimobi to contest for the senatorial seat after his eight year as the governor of the state.

Senator Akanbi  had written a letter to the governor whom he considered as a political leader and brother to intimate him of his decision to return to the upper chamber of the National Assembly under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress.

The Senator was listed among the Senator that dumps the APC at the plenary few months ago but he instantly denied it saying  he had no intention to quit the party.

But some of the party faithful in who spoke with our reporter about the development said it may be not be possible for him to secure the party ticket because his coming into the party was a bit late  and one of the  gubernatorial aspirant is  already being considered for the  seat.
