A member of the Federal House of Representatives, Shina Abiola Peller has joined the Accord Party (AP).
The lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency made the announcement on the floor of the House on Tuesday.
Peller who lost Oyo north APC senatorial primaries dumped the All Progressives Congress last week.
In a statement, he said that he came to the decision after talks with numerous parties.
The reps member said; “In Oyo State, the Accord Party is a force to reckon with, its internal democracy mechanism is intact, a component lacking in other parties. Accord Party is also strategic as it concerns balloting.
“On the ballot paper, Accord comes first before the two major parties. With Accord as our party, voting sensitization becomes easier for us to do.
“Today, I would like to inform the general public that I am now with the Accord party. The logo of the Accord constantly reminds me and other well-meaning Nigerians of their civic responsibility – to vote for credible leaders.
“In Oke-Ogun, Oyo North Senatorial District and Oyo State at large, Accord Party is our strength, its logo is our thumb – it’s our power and we shall make it count”.
