A member of the House of Representatives from Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Oyo, Shina Peller, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), weeks after losing his re-election bid.
The lawmaker announced his defection on his Twitter handle on Friday.

He added that his continued stay in APC would be at the detriment of the interest of his supporters, particularly the youths.
“I’ve tried my best for APC, the party style of democracy in Oyo State kills my conscience and I’ve to put my people’s interest first. I’ve realised that the youths and the people will continue to be at the mercy of few at the top. I’ll announce my new political party on 21|06|22,” he wrote.
