According to information provided by the Personal Assistant to the Councilor, thousands of people reportedly joined the APM at Abey Technical School today 11th of October, 2026. Which is the meeting point of APM Ward 2,
BoyeNation, a political group led by A Former APC Councilor and a loyalist to Hon Tolulope Akande Shadipe, serving federal rep. oluyole Federal Constituency in person of Hon. Adeleke Samson, was among the groups reported to have joined the movement. Other individuals associated with the gathering included Hon. Tope Canada, Kemi Soyombo, Iya Karamo, Saheed Adekola, and several other supporters who are loyalist to Hon Gbolagade etc.
According to the the spokeman, some of the new members expressed dissatisfaction with their former political affiliations, citing what they described as unfulfilled promises and concerns about previous political engagements.
The defectors also reportedly expressed support for Governor Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate referenced by the spokeman, governorship candidate Bimbo Adekambi, and other APM candidates at the local government and state levels.
These expressions of support reflect the positions attributed to the participants at the event and do not necessarily represent the views of all their former political associates.
The reported development comes as political parties and their supporters continue to reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections. Across Oyo State, local political engagements, party mobilisation, and changes in political allegiance are likely to remain important features of the emerging political landscape.
For the APM in Ward 2, Oluyole, the reported reception represents an opportunity to expand its local presence and engage new supporters.
However, the broader political impact of the development will depend on the verified number of people who have changed affiliations, the level of commitment among the new members, and whether the reported support translates into sustained political participation.
For now, the reported defection adds another development to the evolving political landscape of Oluyole Local Government as parties and their supporters prepare for the next electoral cycle.
