The House of Representatives Member, representing Egbado North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency of Ogun, Hon. Jimoh Aremu, has decamped from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defection notice was contained in a letter addressed to the House of Representatives and read by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila at the floor of the House on Wednesday in Abuja.

Hon. Aremu said that the crisis in the ADC formed the major reason for his defection, adding that all efforts to resolve the crisis proved abortive.

He said further that he had no choice than to join the APC to attract development to his constituency.
According to him, the leadership style of Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state, among others, were responsible for his decision to join the APC
However, the House Deputy Minority Leader, Toby Okechukwu (PDP, Enugu State) said that there was a contradiction in the letter.
He said that to his knowledge there was no crisis in the ADC and saw no reason for the defection.
Okechukwu said that the admiration expressed for Gov. Abiodun by the defector was not authentic for defection.
The Speaker asked Okechukwu to mention the name of ADC chairman to prove he knew there was no crisis in the party.
When Okechukwu did not, Gbajabiamila described the intervention of Okechukwu as “meddlesome interloper”, and turned down his plea.
