Hon. Shina Abiola Peller, the lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola Federal Constituency, would soon be announcing his new party as there are insinuations of him joining Adebayo Adelabu in Accord.
There are reports that the party has forwarded Peller’s name as its senatorial candidate in Oyo North.
Recall Adelabu, who was the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate of the party in the 2019 election, had also recently defected to Accord, after failing to clinch the party’s ticket.
In a manner giving credence to his joining the party, the Iseyin-born politician has also started the #ThumbsUpChallenge on social media, to subtly raise awareness for the party whose logo is the thumb.
Peller, it would be recalled, announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, recently, citing imposition and lack of internal democracy in the APC.
While announcing his exit from the APC, Peller remarked that he was heeding the call of the people of Oke Ogun to liberate and restore the glory of the region and the entire Oyo North Senatorial District.
This was just as he promised to announce his new political party on Tuesday, at the next plenary session of the House of Representatives.
