Babatunde Onakoya, an ally of a former governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle Amosun has led his loyalists in the All Progressives Congress into the opposition People’s Democratic Party.
Onakoya, popularly called Debasco led his group known as Debasco political group into the PDP at an event on Wednesday in his Atiba residence in Ijebu Ode.
Debasco disclosed that he was forced to leave the ruling party because of the unsettled rift in the party.
Onakoya, who used the occasion of his 69th birthday to join the opposition party, said that though Amosun and the incumbent governor, Dapo Abiodun, are his brothers, he has no choice than to leave the ruling party due to the lingering crisis in the party.
Speaking before handing over the PDP flag to Onakoya, the Ogun PDP Chairman, Sikirulahi Ogundele, disclosed that people are daily trooping into the opposition party because it is so glaring that the ruling party has failed woefully both at the state and national level.
