Lasun dumps the APC about four months to the Osun governorship election after failing to clinch the party’s ticket
Former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Lasun, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Lasun, it was gathered, tendered his resignation letter on Friday at the APC Secretariat in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
Lasun has sought the APC governorship ticket in 2018 and this year, losing on both occasions.
In the last APC governorship primary contest, he came third behind Moshood Adeoti and the eventual winner, Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.

The primary has divided the APC in Osun with the Adeoti’s camp plotting the fall of the party in the governorship contest.
According to reporting by Sahara Reporters, Lasun had in December 2021 declared that nobody “born of a woman” could stop him from contesting the 2022 governorship election in the state.
The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives had also alleged that the APC did not win the 2018 governorship election which brought Adegboyega Oyetola into office.
“Nobody born of a woman can do to me what they did to me in 2018. My party, the APC did not win the Osun State governorship election,” Lasun had said.
