Following the lingering crisis rocking the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a faction of the party loyal to former governor, Olusegun Osoba, may have concluded plans to finally defect to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Adegbenka Kaka told newsmen shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting of party elders drawn from the nine local government areas of the district, at his residence in Ijebu-Igbo on Monday, that though the group was being wooed by various political parties, SDP has been the ‘most appealing’.

The senator also debunked claims that he was nursing a governorship ambition, asserting that he had not made his next political move known to anyone.
He however vowed that the faction would do all that is needed to restore the party to its founding fathers.
“It is only if it fails that we will have a stopgap,” he said. “But ultimately, we are getting our party back no matter how powerful whoever is. So if there is a room for discussion, if there is a meeting point, fine; but if we have parallel line, we will get alternative because we are in the majority and we have the people behind us.
