In a significant political development, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, the distinguished lawmaker representing Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). His defection followed the formal presentation of his resignation letter on the floor of the House of Representatives, marking a bold and strategic move in his political career.
The National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, alongside the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, received Hon. Oke with open arms at a brief but symbolic event. The gathering was held in Abuja and also witnessed the presence of the Osun APC Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, as well as other key stakeholders in the party.
Hon. Oke, known for his legislative brilliance and dedication to the development of his constituency, expressed his readiness to contribute his wealth of experience to the APC and work towards the progress of both Osun State and Nigeria at large. He described his decision as one driven by the need to align with a progressive platform that mirrors his vision for sustainable development and good governance.
APC leaders praised Hon. Oke for his courage and statesmanship, describing his entry into the party as a major boost ahead of the 2027 general elections. Dr. Ganduje particularly lauded his decision, stating that the APC remains a home for all patriots who are committed to national transformation and service to the people.
As one of the most influential voices in Osun State politics, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke’s defection is expected to strengthen the APC’s grassroots presence in the Oriade/Obokun axis and beyond. Political analysts believe his move signals a new era of robust engagement and progressive representation for his constituents under the APC umbrella.
