Lasun Yusuff, the immediate past Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, on Friday, resigned him membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the party’s National Convention on Saturday.
Yusuff submitted his resignation letter at the APC Secretariat in Osogbo, while the party’s leaders in the state were in Abuja for the convention.
However, Mr Kola Olabisi, the Media Consultant to APC Chairman in Osun State, confirmed the development.
Olabisi said that Yusuff dropped his resignation letter at the party secretariat in Osogbo.
According to him, myself and other executive members of the party are currently in Abuja for the party’s National Convention holding on Saturday.
“The information of Yusuff’s resignation has been communicated to us,” Olabisi said.
Yusuff contested the APC governorship election primary against Governor Gboyega Oyetola on February 19 and lost.
During the direct primary, Yusuff scored 460 votes, while Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, the preferred candidate of the Minister of Interior and former Governor in Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, scored 12,921.
