The member representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, had dumped the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n

The Senator, who stated this in a letter to the Senate President\u00a0on Thursday<\/span><\/span>, explained that he had decided to join the Accord Party.<\/p>\n

Lanlehin explained that he got elected into the Senate on the ticket of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He however said the A C N in 2013, merged with other political parties to form the APC, an action he noted, did not go down well with him.<\/p>\n

He said his action was in exercise of his constitutional rights to freedom of association under the 1999 constitution as amended, and pursuant to the provision contained in section 68 (g).<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI decided to transfer my membership of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to the Accord Party with all the rights and duties acruing thereto.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Senate President, David Mark, had yet to read Lanlehin\u2019s letter of defection on the floor.<\/p>\n
