Abdulkabir Akinlade, the gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State backed by Governor Ibikunle Amosun has eventually dumped the ruling party.
Two other members of the House of Representatives also dumped the ruling party today, while another lawmaker defected from the Peoples Democratic Party.
They other defectors are Rabi’u Kaugama (Jigawa State), Mohammed Ajalah (Kogi State) and Salisu Koko (Kebbi State).
Akinlade moved to the Allied People’s Movement, Kaugama to Social Democratic Party, Ajalah to PDP, and Salisu to SDP.
Akinlade is the choice governorship candidate of Governor Ibikunle Amosun for the APC in Ogun State but the party had recognised Mr Dapo Abiodun as its candidate.
Four members of the House had last week dumped the APC for various parties.
