About 272 politicians have defected to the Action Alliance in Oyo State.
The politicians, who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party and the All Progressives Congress, were received by AA governorship candidates, Mr. Taiwo Otegbeye, at an event held in Ipapo area of Itesiwaju Local Government Area of the state.
Taiwo Ojo, who spoke on behalf of the new members, said that they were motivated by the personality of Otegbeye who he described as a politician endowed with the ideas to develop the state.
He said, “We finally resolved to support AA because of the leadership qualities possessed by the party’s governorship candidate.
“Otegbeye’s name was omitted by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the last election, but embraced peace by accepting to serve the current administration.
“We believe he has great vision for Oyo State which can become reality if we support him and also mobilise support for him.”
While welcoming the new members, Director General of the Action Alliance, Mr. Jide Olaniran, urged them to work hard for the success of the party.
Otegbeye, however, promised to focus on agriculture, establish industries and construct roads to link villages.
