A member of the House of Representatives member and son of a former governor of Oyo State, late Alhaji Lamidi Adesina, Hon. Adedapo Lam-Adesina has said he dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) due to high level of impunity and lack of internal democracy.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, had officially announced during plenary recently that Hon. Adedapo Lam-Adesina representing Ibadan North-east/South-east federal constituency of Oyo State; Hon. Dada Awoleye, also from Oyo State; Segun Williams from Ogun State and Lawali Hassan from Zamfara State had dumped the APC.

While Adesina moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Awoleye joined the Accord Party (AP) and Williams and Hassan joined the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) respectively.

Speaking with THISDAY on why he opted out of the APC, Lam-Adesina, who had earlier said his father will not forgive him if he remained in the APC with Governor Abiola Ajimobi, said he had left the party even before the recent party primary election due to tendency for impunity.
