Three chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, who had at different times been lawmakers in Osun State House of Assembly, have resigned their membership of the party.
The lawmakers, Lekan Oyediran, Aleem Bakare and Folorunso Oladoyin, resigned their APC membership through letters addressed to the local government chairmen of the party.
The three resignations occured between June 1 and 2, and beside Bakare that cited lack of internal democracy for dumping APC, the other two chieftains did not state reasons for their action in the letters.
Oyediran represented Odo Otin State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly between 1999 and 2003, while Aleem Bakare was in the parliament representing Ejigbo State Constituency between 2003 and 2007.
Folorunso Oladoyin, representing Ife South State Constituency in the Assembly between 2011 and 2019, went on to serve as the State Commissioner for Education in the administration of ex governor Adegboyega Oyetola til the government exited office on November 26, 2022.
Bakare also served in Oyetola administration as the Special Adviser to the governor on Land Matters.
All the three ex lawmakers were however linked to the ex National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, who had kept his distance from the party since the conclusion of the governorship primary of APC in December, 2025.
