The defectors openly declared for APC at a campaign rally organised by the party which held in Ilesa, Ijesa-South Federal Constituency of the state.

Speaking on behalf of the defectors after receiving the APC flag, Oyelami described PDP as a party that has nothing to offer the people, while also advising the people not to vote wrongly to a party of “buccaneers”.

He described the three and half years of Aregbesola in office as progressive, enterprising and growth-oriented.

On Monday, the PDP had announced the expulsion of six of its members, who were said to be the insiders for the opposing and ruling All Progressives Congress in Osun State. The expelled members were accused of anti party activities.

Meanwhile, the representatives of the APC in Osun State had been allegedly alerted about an impending attack on Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who, according to report, will be targeted by foreign snipers during his campaign trial.
