Member of the House of Representative, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has spoken on claims of her defection to the People’s Democratic Party, ahead of the 2023 General elections.
Naija News reports that a viral social media post had claimed that the lawmaker would be joining the main opposition party soon.
The post read: “Congratulations to Oyo PDP as Hon. Tolu Sadipe, the Lawmaker representing Oluyole federal Constituency at the House of Representatives is soon to land in our party. Full details later”.
In a statement to newsmen on Tuesday, Akande-Shodipe stated that news of her defection was false.
According to her: “I Appreciate the support and concern of my people. Such a claim is very laughable. The mudslinging has started. Cheap media trick. I am sure nobody is falling for this.
“I am the APC Rep. from Oluyole in the House of Representatives for Oluyole, and as my people wish 2 terms in a row. I am committed to the development of Oluyole. Please tell those looking in from outside, to do better than this, let’s contest on real issues and performance not falsehood.
“I take this opportunity to thank the people of Oluyole, for choosing me to serve and I reiterate my commitment to continue to serve Oluyole diligently as I have always done. God bless us all.”
