In October, Hon. Olatoye Temitope representing Lagelu/Akinyele federal constituency of Oyo State dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Action Democratic Party (ADP). He obtained the party’s form for Oyo Central Senatorial district but was defeated at the poll during last National Assembly elections.
This is coming just as results of Saturday’s gubernatorial and state house of assembly elections are being announce across poliing units in the state.
