A member of the House of Representativesrepresenting Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency Hon. Shina Peller has defected to another party.
Peller who announced his dumping of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) last week has announced his defection to the Accord party.
The lawmaker made the announcement on the floor of the Green chamber on Tuesday.
In a statement, Peller disclosed that he entered talks with his new party and others after he left the APC.
He stressed that he had numerous options, but chose AP “for some very peculiar reasons”.
He noted that Accord Party was the first platform in Oyo State to zone Oyo North Senatorial ticket to Oke Ogun considering that Ogbomosho Zone had done two terms.
Peller said the party has shown an unwavering commitment to the yearnings of the people of Oke-Ogun.
“In Oyo State, the Accord Party is a force to reckon with, its internal democracy mechanism is intact, a component lacking in other parties. Accord Party is also strategic as it concerns balloting.
