Ora-Igbomina agog as APC members defect to PDP, praise Gov Adeleke
No fewer than three hundred (300) APC members defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ora-Igbomina, Ifedayo local government, yesterday, 1st September, 2024.
It was a carnival-like atmosphere during the PDP general meeting in Ora-Igbomina as members of the opposition APC dropped their broom to embrace umbrella.
Citing many reasons why they are leaving the party, they said the leadership of the party has failed them in the local government, hence they decide to move to the real progressive party, the PDP.
They said the real progressive party is PDP government, stating that what Governor Ademola Adeleke is doing in Osun in terms of his transformation agenda is enough for those who love the state to join him to move the state forward.
Speaking one after the other, Hon. Goke Afolayan, Hon. Goke Olaoye and Hon. Adedoyin said what Governor Ademola Adeleke is doing in Osun is unprecedented compare to what the APC had done in the State.
Hon. Afolayan said with what Governor Adeleke has done in the last eighteen months is enough to join the party. “What the Governor is doing in Osun today, is unprecedented. Just dew days ago, he unveiled the newly purchased tractors for our farmers.”
“For the years APC spent on the saddle, they didn’t think of buy tractors for our farmers. This is a real progressive.”
Hon. Olaoye praised Governor Adeleke for remembering the pensioners in the State as he prayed that God will continue to strengthen the Governor to do more for the state. “We are here to join hands with our governor to move the state forward. What we are seeing all around is enough for us to join the PDP.
“Ora-Igbomina Mini Water Scheme which was abandoned by the APC is being reconstructed by the administration of Governor Adeleke. We say thank your sir.”
Those who lead members of the APC to PDP are, Hon. Olagoke Afolayan (ward 8), Hon. Goke Olaoye (former councilor, ward 07), Hon. Adedoyin, Hon. Demolu Adedoyin, Mrs Ogunniyi, Mr Arin Abikoye and hundreds of APC members.
