Shina Peller, a member of the House of Representatives, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after losing the party’s Oyo North senatorial primary to the incumbent senator, Abdulfatai Buhari.
In a post shared on his Twitter page, the lawmaker who represents lseyin/ltesiwaju/Kajola/lwajowa federal constituency said he was leaving the ruling party because the “style of democracy in Oyo State kills my conscience”.
He further claimed that his continued stay in APC would be at the detriment of interest of his supporters, which are particularly the youths.
The lawmaker noted that he would announce his new party next Tuesday.
He wrote,
“I’ve tried my best for APC, the party style of democracy in Oyo State kills my
conscience and I’ve to put my people’s interest first. I’ve realized that the
youths and the people will
continue to be at the mercy of few at the top. I’ll
announce my new political party on 21|06|22.”
