Oyinlola, who was ignominiously removed as the National Secretary of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in 2013 joined APC in 2014 in the count down to Osun gubernatorial election of August 9.
He was later made the Chairman of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Board in the late 2017; the appointment many believed was made to pacify him after losing out in the ministerial and ambassadorial appointments. He has also resigned from the same appointment.
He and later dumped APC for PDP in 2018.
Oyinlola served as Osun Governor between May 2003 and November 2010.
