In a significant development in Oyo State politics, Engineer Faozey Oladotun Nurudeen has announced his resignation from the Accord Political Party, effective immediately. This decision comes after Nurudeen contested as the senatorial candidate for the Accord party in the Oyo Central Senatorial District seat in the National Assembly during the last general election.
In his resignation letter to the ward chairman of Accord, Nurudeen expressed his gratitude to the party leaders and members for the opportunity to contest on their platform. He emphasized his commitment to creating lasting impacts on the lives of the masses, which he believes requires aligning with like-minded politicians and synergizing efforts.
Nurudeen, who polled 41,743 votes in the election, had previously denied rumors of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). However, in his latest move, he cited the need for swift realignment and synergy with a new political party that offers a broader platform and reach.
The renowned engineer and politician is set to declare his membership in a new party on a yet-to-be-announced date. His entire political structure and supporters will be mobilized to strengthen the new party in the Oyo Central Senatorial District and the state.
Nurudeen’s resignation and impending move to a new party are expected to generate significant interest in Oyo State’s political landscape. His commitment to the welfare of the masses and his search for a more effective platform to achieve this goal will likely be closely watched by political analysts and enthusiasts alike.
