A former Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretary, Funmilayo Ogun, defects to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and rallies support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid for the 2027 general elections. Both reports frame the move as a political shift from the PDP to the APC and as a campaign effort aimed at strengthening Tinubu’s support base in Ekiti.
The outlets differ mainly in how much detail they provide. The Punch focuses on the headline event—Ogun’s departure from the PDP and her call for Tinubu’s re-election—without adding extensive specifics. Nigerian Eye includes additional context from Ogun’s political background, citing her earlier role as commissioner for works under former Governor Ayodele Fayose, and describing her stated reasons for choosing the APC and the planned approach to campaigning at ward level in parts of Ido/Osi.
Nigerian Eye also highlights responses from local APC leadership, while The Punch keeps the emphasis on the defection and support message. Overall, both sources agree on who is switching parties, to which party, and what candidate she intends to back for 2027.
