Moshood Adeoti
The Secretary to the Osun State government (SSG) Moshood Adeoti, has dumped the All Progressive Congress (APC) and joined the Alliance Democratic Party (ADP).
Adeoti had vied for the APC governorship ticket in the just-concluded primary election of the party, which was won by the Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s Chief of Staff, Gboyega Oyetola.
The SSG’s actions may not be unconnected with the mode and pattern in which the APC primaries were conducted.
The APC had adopted a direct primary election system which enabled the participation of all members of the party in the election.
Angered by this development, Adeoti, who withdrew from the exercise, proceeded to resign his membership of the APC in the state.
In a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of APC, Gidigbo 2, Ward 12, Iwo Local Government Council Area, he said: “With gratitude to Almighty God, I hereby wish to notify you of my decision to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“While thanking you and the entire membership of the party for your support while my membership lasted, I wish to reiterate my commitment to the progress of the state in whatever capacity I found myself in the future.”
