The Oyo State Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and joined the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Olaniyan confirmed his defection while speaking on Fresh 109.5FM programme, ‘Crossfire,’ on Sunday.
His announcement came after weeks of speculations that he was going to leave the party because of the frosty relationship between him and his boss, Governor Seyi Makinde.
Makinde recently dropped Olaniyan as his running mate for the 2023 governorship poll, although no official statement had been issued to that effect.
The deputy governor had in 2020 complained to the Dr. Saka Balogun-led committee to reconcile aggrieved PDP members, that Makinde had sidelined him for a long time.
