Former Ogun state chairman of the Nigerian opposition party, the PDP, Engineer Bayo Dayo, has resigned from the party after serving as its leader for eight years. He has now joined the ruling APC, attributing his decision to join the APC to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Bayo Dayo made this announcement during a gathering at his ward in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun state. He cited alleged indiscipline and lawlessness within the PDP as the reasons for his departure.
Speaking at the event, Dayo expressed his admiration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun, stating that he has seen “the good works” of both leaders. He also emphasized that his followers and some ward chairmen from the PDP have accompanied him in joining the APC.
Dayo’s decision to join the APC has been well received by the party members, signifying a new chapter in his political journey.
In recent political developments in Ogun state, the Supreme Court affirmed the election victory of Governor Abiodun, dismissing Oladipupo Olatunde Adebutu’s appeal. This ruling marked a significant step for the Ogun APC, solidifying the governor’s position after a legal battle.
The decision of a prominent political figure like Bayo Dayo to join the APC highlights the shifting dynamics within the political landscape of Ogun state. His move underscores the growing influence and appeal of the ruling party under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun.
As Dayo’s political journey takes a new turn, it will be interesting to observe the impact of his decision on the political environment in Ogun state and how it aligns with the broader political agenda of the ruling APC.
