AI Summary

Twenty-five members of the Osun State House of Assembly, originally elected on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform, have formally joined the Accord party. The defection was announced during a parliamentary meeting, with the lawmakers stating they seek a more inclusive, people‑centred platform and intend to support Governor Ademola Adeleke. The speaker’s Chief Press Secretary, Olamide Tiamiyu, said the legislators resigned from the PDP weeks earlier after consultations.
