Shina Peller, lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola Federal Constituency has joined the Accord Party.
He announced his defection on the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday in Abuja.
In a post on his social media platforms, he said Accord Party is a force to reckon with.
He said: āEarlier today on the floor of the house of representatives, I announced my defection from the All Progressives Congress to Accord Party.
āAfter my exit from the APC, we engaged other political parties, we had numerous options, but we opted for Accord for very peculiar reasons.
āAccord party happens to be the first party in Oyo state to zone Oyo North Senatorial ticket to Oke-Ogun considering that Ogbomosho Zone had done two terms.
āThe party has shown an unwavering commitment to the yearnings of the people of Oke-Ogun. It has given us hope and a sense of belonging.
āIn Oyo State, the Accord party is a force to reckon with, its internal democracy mechanism is intact, a component lacking in other parties.
āAccord party is also strategic as it concerns balloting. On the ballot paper, Accord comes first before the two major parties. With Accord as our party, voting sensitization becomes easier for us to do.
āToday, I would like to inform the general public that I am now with Accord party. The logo of the Accord constantly reminds me and other well meaning Nigerians of their civic responsibility ā to vote for credible leaders.
āIn Oke-Ogun, Oyo North Senatorial District and Oyo State at large, Accord Party is our strength, itās logo is our thumb ā itās our power and we shall make it count.ā
