In a significant political realignment in Osun State, former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Kazeem Adio, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alhaji Adio, a respected political leader from Iwo Local Government Area, served under former Governor Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and was widely regarded as one of his closest allies. His defection marks another strategic loss for the PDP, particularly from its old guard.
This latest defection is part of a growing wave of high-profile exits from the PDP, largely triggered by the departure of Hon. Wole Oke, the federal legislator representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency. Oke’s exit has sent ripples through the party’s ranks, sparking a chain reaction of resignations and defections that continue to weaken the PDP’s structure across the state.
Political analysts describe the current trend as a significant boost for the APC, which appears to be capitalizing on internal discontent and leadership crises within the opposition party.
Further details on Alhaji Adio’s official declaration and APC’s reception plans are expected shortly.
