ABEOKUTA—THE All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State, Thursday, kicked against the recent action taken by the Senator, representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Senator Lanre Tejuosho, describing him as a betrayer.

In a communiqué signed by Chairman, Ogun Central Senatorial district of the party,  Mr. Yomi Ademefun, and Secretary, Ogun Central APC caucus, Saheed Ariori,  the APC said it has  disassociated  itself from the defection of the Senator representing the district at the National Assembly.

The communiqué reads in part: “Members were shocked to learn that our elected senator, Dr. Lanre Tejuoso, was among senators that defected from the APC.

“We felt embarrassed that our Senator did not deem it fit to defer to the party both at the state and zonal levels before taking this action assuming he has any grievance.

“Our interactions with his purported coordinators and followers in the senatorial district indicate that they have disassociated themselves from his action.

“Much as we concede the right of Tejuoso to take any personal decision he deems fit politically, we, that voted for him to become a senator, hereby, distance ourselves from this action.

“The Ogun APC senatorial district remains one and indivisible and holds its allegiance to the party in the state and in the nation.”
