[Vanguard] The Senator Ibikunle Amosun (SIA) Movement in Abeokuta South local government area of Ogun State, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), endorsing the party's candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The Ibikunle Amosun Movement in Abeokuta South, Ogun State, has transferred allegiance from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People's Democratic Party (PDP), endorsing PDP candidates in the 2027 general elections.
