The report said the young Ogunlewe, a lawyer, contested the Lagos House of Assembly seat (Kosofe 1) in the 2015 and 2019 elections but lost to the APC on the two occasions.

He announced his resignation from the PDP shortly after the 2019 election, but did not announce his next destination .

His father had also recently threatened to leave the party within 30 days over the lingering leadership crisis in the state chapter.

The former minister said he was tired of what he described as the instability and lack of direction in the PDP.

He said he would leave for the APC if the issues affecting the party were not resolved .

Moyosore thanked APC members in the area for accepting him into the ruling party and particularly commended Bayo Osinowo, a senator-elect for the Lagos West, for accepting him to join the party despite past political differences.

”I want to thank everybody for accepting me and my supporters into APC, honestly, I am overwhelmed by this show of love and I feel at home.

”I thank Mr Osinowo and I can say that again and again.The last time I came here was for the victory party of Mr Osinowo and I told the whole house I was going to come to APC properly," he said.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Lagos chapter of Peoples Democratic Party on Friday, May 3, declared recently that Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe does not have electoral value.
