In his defection letter read by the Clerk, Mrs Oludara Awe, Hon Oyeleke said he left his former political party, APC because of some unresolvable internal wranglings.

The letter read in part ” APC in Oyo State has failed to uphold the tenets of democracy especially as it relates to justice and equity in its dealings with party faithful. I can’t continue to be in a party that does not value my interest and that of my supporters. The PDP has shown great potentials in Oyo State and it remains the party to beat at all levels in 2023.”
