Ijebu-Igbo, the headquarters of Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State, was agog recently as loyalists of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The defectors, who made public declaration at a carnival-like event, said they were highly impressed by Governor Dapo Abiodunâs sterling performance in office and decided to switch camp in furtherance of their unflinching support for his administration.
This latest defection climaxed the series of movement of political heavyweights and power blocs in recent days into the ruling party which, analysts reckon, is likely to fortify and reposition the APC as the most formidable in the race for 2023.

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State have protested the alleged refusal of the state executive committee to confirm and inaugurate their caretaker committee after nomination.
The members, under the aegis of Dapo Abiodun Youth Forum (DAYF), are accusing two former deputy governors of the state, Segun Adesegun and Senator Gbenga Kaka, of allegedly causing disunity and crisis in the party.
The protesters stormed the APC state secretariat in Abeokuta with placards bearing inscriptions such as: “Release our caretaker exco in Ijebu North”, “Inaugurate Tunde Adebajo as party chairman, Ijebu North”, “Obey the party guideline” and “The leaders’ decision should be followed in Ijebu North”.
