**Speaker Osun Assembly and 24 Lawmakers Make a Shocking Switch**
In a sudden move that has sent shockwaves through the Osun State political landscape, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly and 24 lawmakers have abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Accord Party. This decision, taken on Friday, raises questions about the stability and dynamics of the state's political scene.
The Speaker's switch is not the only significant development in Osun State politics in recent times. Recall that the state governor had made a similar move last December, ditching the PDP for the Accord Party. This move has been seen by many as a tactical ploy to strengthen his hold on power and possibly pave the way for a future presidential bid.
The defections from the PDP to the Accord Party are significant in Osun State, given the party's previous strongholds in the region. The Accord Party's sudden rise in Osun State politics may be attributed to the state governor's decision to join the party, which has seemingly brought a wave of support for the party.
The implications of this move are far-reaching, as it may affect the balance of power in the State House of Assembly. With the Speaker and 24 lawmakers now part of the Accord Party, the party's influence in the assembly is likely to increase, potentially altering the dynamics of governance in the state.
As Osun State politics continues to evolve, one thing is certain - the Accord Party has become a force to be reckoned with in the state. Whether this move will ultimately benefit the state or create instability remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: the politics of Osun State will continue to be a subject of intense scrutiny and speculation in the days to come.
