Also, while some speculate that I am now a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, some conclude I am now in Accord Party. This is nothing but a rumour and should be regarded as one by all as I still remain a member of the APC until I announce otherwise via my verified social media handles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat I honoured Alhaji Adebisi Olopoeyan\u2019s invitation to his house doesn\u2019t mean I have defected to NNPP. Alhaji Olopoeyan is a family friend, and the fact that we belong to different political parties doesn\u2019t mean I should start playing politics of bitterness with him. I am not that kind of a person and won\u2019t turn to one for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be recalled that about a week ago, one of the chieftains of our party in Oyo State, had also alleged that I am being secretly positioned by the Peoples Democratic Party to be a running mate to Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde in the 2023 Oyo State gubernatorial race. This is also not true, and the recent announcement of Bayo Lawal as a running mate to Governor Makinde has further rendered the allegation baseless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat I commended Governor Makinde on a project that is beneficial to my constituents shouldn\u2019t make one conclude that I am now a PDP member. Also, Engr. Seyi Makinde is not a governor to PDP members only, but a governor to everyone in Oyo State including myself. I haven\u2019t defected from APC to any political party, and even if I am going to do so, that would be for the people of Oke Ogun in Oyo State to decide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A member of the House of Representatives from Iseyin\/Itesiwaju\/Kajola\/Iwajowa federal constituency, Oyo State, Shina Peller, has described reports by some online media that he had defected from the All Progressives Congress to another political party as mere \u201crumours\u201d.
