A former Speaker of the Ogun
State House of Assembly, Titi Oseni-Gomez, has defected from the African
Democratic Congress to the All Progressives Congress.

The PUNCH
gathered that she would be working with her supporters for the success
of the governorship candidate of the APC, Dapo Abiodun, at the Saturday
polls.

Oseni-Gomez, who contested under the platform of the ADC
for the Ogun Central Senatorial District at the last National Assembly
election, said she made the decision after consulting with her family
members, constituency and other party stakeholders.

“I have moved to the APC. It is confirmed,” she told our correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday night.

Politicians and their supporters in Ogun State have been forging alliances as the Saturday governorship election draws near.

Our
correspondent reported last Friday that another senatorial candidate of
the ADC, Deji Ashiru, who contested for the Ogun East Senatorial
District, defected to the APC.

Oseni-Gomez and Ashiru will now be
working against the governorship candidate of their former party,
Gboyega Isiaka, who has the endorsement of former President Olusegun
Obasanjo.

The APC flag bearer, Abiodun, while reacting to the
development through his aide, Emmanuel Ojo, said he was gladdened by the
news.

He said, “Before anyone could emerge a senatorial
candidate, you will agree with me that such a person must have a lot of
political influence. And you know politics is a game of numbers. So, we
are happy she has finally agreed to join us; it is a plus to us. We are
looking forward to a great relationship with her and her supporters.”
