The lawmaker representing Ijebu North East State Constituency in the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. (Barr) Segun Adesanya has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adesanya in a statement signed by his special assistant on Media, Temitayo Adekola and made available to Newsmen on Wednesday cited the lingering internal crisis within the PDP as the major reason for his decision. According to him, the crisis, which has persisted for about two years, has weakened unity within the party and hampered its effectiveness in political engagement and governance.
The lawmaker, however, expressed appreciation to the PDP for providing him the platform to serve his constituents over the past three years. He acknowledged the support and confidence reposed in him by party leaders and members during his time in the opposition party.
He reaffirmed his commitment to delivering quality representation, promoting people-oriented policies, and ensuring impactful governance for the people of Ijebu North East.
Adesanya also pledged to continue working for the growth and development of his constituency under the platform of the APC, urging his supporters and political associates to remain loyal and join him in the new political journey.
Meanwhile, his letter notifying the House of his resignation from the PDP and defection to the APC was read on the floor of the Assembly on Tuesday by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide.
