Six members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State on Monday, defected to the Accord Party.
The lawmakers announced their defection to the Accord Party at the stakeholders meeting held in Osogbo.
Speaking on behalf of the defectors, the member representing Boluwaduro/Ifedayo/Ila Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Clement Akanni, predicted a landslide victory for Governor Ademola Adeleke in the August 15 poll, and charged members of the Accord Party to vote en masse and monitor the voting process.
“I want to ask, will it be easy for one person to pick up a gun and kill other people? After voting, stay behind and monitor your votes. Before you start voting, check result sheet, check ballot papers and be sure they are complete.
“After voting, with our projections, 80% votes will go to Adeleke, while the other party will get 20%. We will win and all of us will be alive to witness it,” Akanni said.
The Federal lawmaker added, “On behalf of Mahruf Adewale representing Osogbo Federal Constituency, Bamidele Salam, Ede Federal Constituency, Soji Adetunji Ikirun Federal Constituency, Mudashiru Lukman Alani, Iwo Federal Constituency, Lanre Oladebo Irewole Isokan Federal Constituency, all of us from today have moved to the Accord Party.”
