BREAKING: Another Kwara Lawmaker, Odetundun, Resigns From APC — NewsmongerOlusola Odetundun

Another member of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Olushola Odetundun, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), further deepening the political realignment in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Odetundun, who represents Irepodun Constituency in the Kwara State House of Assembly, announced his resignation from the ruling party on Thursday.

His resignation came shortly after Hon. Saba Gideon, representing Edu Constituency, also announced his withdrawal from the APC.

Odetundun’s decision has now added to the growing political developments within the Kwara State political space, with the two lawmakers becoming the latest serving members of the State House of Assembly to leave the APC.

The latest defections are coming less than a year to the 2027 general elections, a period already witnessing political consultations, realignments and movement of politicians across political parties.

The development is expected to generate further reactions among political stakeholders in the state, particularly as parties begin preparations for the 2027 elections.

Details surrounding Odetundun’s next political move were not immediately clear as of the time of filing this report.

The simultaneous development involving two serving lawmakers has heightened attention on the political situation within the ruling party in Kwara State and could signal further political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
