According to a source who spoke to Punch newspaper on Wednesday, three APC senators from the state and six members of House of Representatives have also joined the SDP.
The Senators are Adegbenga Kaka, Gbenga Obadara and Akin Odunsi, who represent Ogun East, Ogun Central and Ogun West respectively.
The members of the House of Representatives are Kunle Adeyemi, Babatunde Olabode, Olumide Osoba, Abiodun Abudu, Odeleye Kehinde and Bukunola Buraimo.
This is coming after Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s Senior Special Assistant on Environment, Abayomi Odunowo, resigned his appointment.
It was gathered that Adesegun had on 24 October sent a letter to Governor Amosun where he accused the governor of starving his office of funds, and allocating old vehicles to him.
The deputy governor had advised Amosun to fear God and warned that he might not win the next governorship poll in the state.
“Your Excellency, while writing this letter, my thoughts race to my university days in Ile-Ife, Osun State where I joined a group of bikers travelling around the country out of youthful exuberance.
“During this period, one of my pastimes was reading inscriptions on cars and buses to amuse myself. In 1978, I witnessed a fatal accident near a big tree at Alakia Junction in Ibadan on the way to Ile-Ife involving a white Peugeot 504 station wagon.
“Nearly everybody in the car died; shockingly there were several amulets hung over the car that had the word “I shall return” boldly inscribed on both sides.
“Unfortunately, it did not return. I therefore conclude that we all must fear God,” part of the letter read.

When asked if the Osoba group had left the APC, Kaka replied “Something like that. “All of us; we will soon have a formal unveiling.”
The lawmaker also stated that Osoba and other politicians who left the APC for the SDP had started consultations and sensitisation visits to the Local Government Areas in the state.
