Ex-PDP deputy chair, Oyedokun, defects to APC

Shuaib Oyedokun

Former National Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Shuaib Oyedokun, has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State.

Oyedokun’s decision was contained in a letter dated May 16, 2024 and forwarded to the leadership of the PDP through the Ward 13 Chairman to Local, State and National Secretariat.

Oyedokun, a founding member of the PDP and member of the Board of Trustees (BoT), left the PDP alongside some chieftains of the party.


The letter read, “As a functional member and leader of PDP (Ward 13, Jagun/ Osi-Bale Ode, Odo-Otin South Local Government, Osun State,) whose high electoral productivity and value have been credibly and positively acknowledged in my ward, across the local council, state and country-wide for the enhancement of the fortune of the PDP, I have the honour (though with pain) in announcing the renunciation of my membership of the party on principle, having observed that the ideals of we, founding members, had been sorely contaminated.

“In taking this step which is not even without due consultation with my teaming loyalists in the PDP, I have consequently decided to shift my allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) where I believe my experience, efforts and leadership roles would be valued and appreciated. I thank you.”
