A former Minister of Sports and Special Duties,
Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While addressing newsmen on Friday in his Ikolaba residence in
Ibadan, Adedoja said he had submitted his letter of resignation from PDP
to the party’s National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
Adedoja explained that his aligning with the APC at this period of
Nigeria’s political dispensation was to contribute his best to the
needed unity of Nigeria, having built bridges of unity among various
socio-political groups in the country.
“I want to align with the Federal government of Nigeria to contribute
to the good governance the country deserves for our people and for my
followers across the country,’’ he said.
He said that he had congratulated Makinde to wish him God’s guidance in the newly-onerous task of governing Oyo State.
Adedoja thanked his well-wishers, friends and colleagues across the
country, who in the course of his academic, professional and political
life in different parts of the country had provided him the needed
support and encouragement.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adedoja was the
governorship candidate of Action Congress (AC) in the 2007 Governorship
election in Oyo State.
NAN reports that Adedoja, a former Pro-Chancellor of the Federal
University, Dutse, Jigawa State, also contested for the post of National
Chairman of the PDP at the National Convention of the party in 2017.
