Oyetola’s Kinsmen Dump APC, Back Adeleke’s Re-Election

AI Summary

Former Boripe LGA Chairman Hon. Kareem Afolabi and 15 APC leaders in the council left the All Progressives Congress to join the Accord Party. They announced support for Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re‑election, citing his performance and projects in Osun State. Afolabi said the move reflects a desire to back a leader they consider effective, and noted the governor’s endorsement of President Bola Tinubu. The Accord Party chair, Pastor Tolu Akande, described the defection as a setback for the APC in Boripe. The shift may affect the political dynamics ahead of the 2027 Osun gubernatorial election.
