Six members of Nigeria’s House of Representatives from Oyo State announce they have left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), according to reports from The Punch and Vanguard. The accounts say the lawmakers aligned with Governor Seyi Makinde make the switch, with the group described as “loyal” or “on Tuesday” announcing the departure. The sources consistently identify the number of lawmakers as six and state that their political affiliation changes from the PDP to the APM. Both outlets frame the move as a party defection by sitting members of the House rather than an election or appointment. The reports do not provide additional details on the reasons for the switch, the timing beyond the announcement, or whether the lawmakers plan any further legislative or leadership changes. Overall, the coverage is aligned on the core fact that six Oyo Reps formally depart PDP and move to APM.
