The Majority Leader of Ogun State House of Assembly, Adeyinka Mafe, yesterday, returned to APC barely a month after losing the House of Representatives election on the platform of Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM).
Daily Trust recalls that Mafe, who represents Sagamu I Constituency in November 2018, had resigned his membership of APC and joined APM, citing injustice by the leadership of APC during the party’s primaries as part of reasons for the defection.
However, yesterday, the Speaker, Suraj Adekunbi, read Mafe’s withdrawal letter on the floor of the house, stating his decision to return to the APC.
“I had earlier written a letter of which to leave APC.
“I write to officially withdraw the letter and wish to notify that I remain a member of APC next level, “ the statement read.
Our correspondent reports that since Mafe’s defection to APM, the assembly’s leadership had not elected a new leader.
