The Speaker of the House, Mr Suraj Adekunbi, read the separate letters of defection by the lawmakers during the plenary session in Abeokuta. She said the major reason for her defection was for her to be part of the Ogun West for Governor campaign. “ I am an Ogun West person and whatever will make my people happy is what I will go for. “Whatever is done that concerns Ogun West, I must be part of it,” she said. Some of the PDP lawmakers, who defected, hinged their decision on the crisis and division within the party at the state level.
