JUST IN: Shina Peller Ports To Accord, Says Party shows Unwavering Commitment To Oke Ogun
Lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kojola federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Shina Peller has announced Accord Party as his new political party
Hon Peller made the announcement on the floor of the House on Tuesday during plenary.
The lawmaker who later took to his social media platforms to make the development public noted that his new political party is a force to reckon with.
Recall that Hon Shina Peller in a statement issued last week expressed intention to join a new party which would be made public today.
Peller’s defection to Accord Party followed his decision to renounce his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to the undemocratic actions of some gladiators within Oyo State APC.
He said: “Earlier today on the floor of the house of representatives, I announced my defection from the All Progressives Congress to Accord Party.
Also in a statement issued by his chief press secretary, Kola Popoola, the lawmaker said “though there were numerous options, but that Accord has shown an unwavering commitment to the yearnings of the people of Oke Ogun being the first party in Oyo state to zone Oyo North Senatorial ticket to the region.”
The statement reads in party:
“Accord party happens to be the first party in Oyo state to zone Oyo North Senatorial ticket to Oke Ogun considering that Ogbomosho Zone had done two terms.
Accord party is also strategic as it concerns balloting. On the ballot paper, Accord comes first before the two major parties. With Accord as our party, voting sensitization becomes easier for us to do.
“Today, I would like to inform the general public that I am now with Accord party. The logo of the Accord constantly reminds me and other well meaning Nigerians of their civic responsibility – to vote for credible leaders.
“In Oke-Ogun, Oyo North Senatorial District and Oyo State at large, Accord Party is our strength, it’s logo is our thumb – it’s our power and we shall make it count.”
