Honorable Shina Abiola Peller, a member of the House of Representatives, representing m Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, has quitted the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Peller, an indigene of Iseyin in Oyo State’s Oke Ogun geopolitical zone, made the disclosure of his decamping in a letter to the Chairman of his ward.
Peller, who was elected in 2019 on the APC platform, contested and lost the Oyo North Senatorial District seat in the recent primary elections of the APC.
According to the legislator, some party chieftains’ undemocratic behavior, notably in Oyo State, has shown that people at the grassroot, particularly the youths would continue to be at the mercy of the few at the top.
He claimed that some members of the party forced their favored candidate on the public against their will, saying he’s leaving the APC because his family had requested it.
He went on to say that he entered politics for the greater good of Nigerian youths and the people of Oke Ogun, not for personal gain.
“I write to formally notify you of the renunciation of my membership in the All Progressives Congress (APC),” the letter read in part.
