More than 250 PDP and Accord members and supporters in Oyo State defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to reports ahead of the 2027 general elections. Vanguard says the group includes party members and chieftains and is received by APC leadership in the state.
Daily Post Nigeria adds that Hammed Ademola, the PDP candidate for Ibadan North-East State Constituency 2, and Adedapo Ojo, an Accord aspirant for the same constituency, also join the APC. The outlet says the defections are accompanied by more than 3,000 supporters, who attend the move as part of the public realignment.
The accounts align on the central development—PDP and Accord figures moving to APC in Oyo State—but differ in the scale described, with one report emphasizing “over 250” members and another citing “3,000 others” and naming the constituency-specific candidates involved. Both stories frame the changes as preparations for the 2027 election cycle.
