2023: House of Reps member, Akande-Sadipe denies defection rumour
A member of the House of Representatives, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has debunked claims in some quarters that she is set to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Akande-Sadipe was reacting to a viral social media post in which a member of PDP (names withheld) posted her picture with the text “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 made available to journalists in Ibadan, on Tuesday, the lawmaker describe the purported claim as false.
“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 two 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,” she said.
