Shuaib Oyedokun, a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has switched allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a letter personally signed and sent to the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum, via the Ward 13 Chairman, Oyedokun explained that his departure was due to the party straying from the principles established by its founders.

In the letter titled “Resignation of Membership,” Oyedokun acknowledged that his decision to leave the party was difficult, especially as one of its founding members.
The former PDP Deputy National Chairman stated that he chose to join the APC, where he believes his experience, efforts, and leadership roles will be valued and appreciated.

The letter reads: It reads, “As a functional member and leader of PDP (Ward 13, Jagun/ Osi-Bale Ode, Odo-Otin South Local Government, Osun State,) whose high electoral productivity and value have been credibly and positively acknowledged in my ward, across the local council, state and country-wide for the enhancement of the fortune of the PDP, I have the honour (though with pain) in announcing the renunciation of my membership of the party on principle, having observed that the ideals of we, founding members, had been sorely contaminated.
“In taking this step which is not even without due consultation with my teaming loyalists in the PDP, I have consequently decided to shift my allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) where I believe my experience, efforts and leadership roles would be valued and appreciated”.
