The lawmaker representing Oyo South Senatorial District at the Senate, Senator Kola Balogun, who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last week, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Balogun, who is the younger brother of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Lekan Balogun, was the only senator elected to the Upper Legislative on the platform of the PDP in Oyo State in 2019.
With his defection, there is no lawmaker on the platform of the opposition party in the state.
The senator resigned from the PDP last week after Governor Seyi Makinde allegedly handed over the PDP ticket for Oyo South Senatorial District to Joseph Tegbe, who defected to the PDP from the APC.
Senator Balogun announced his new affiliation with the APC at the APC Secretariat in Ibadan on Tuesday, and is set to declare his governorship ambition at the same ceremony.
