20,000 OYSF Members Leave APC For PDP In Osun
Over 20,000 people, who are members of a political group in Osun State, the Omisore Youth Support Forum (OYSF) on Wednesday announced their decision to leave APC for PDP.
They have called the PDP their ‘true political home’.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that the group, which draws its membership from across all local governments in the state, was originally formed as a mobilization force for the governorship ambition of Otunba Iyiola Omisore, a former Deputy Governor in the state.
They had joined the APC alongside the Ife born politician ahead of the 2018 governorship election rerun.
The statement added that the OYSF members were formally received into the party by the State PDP Chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi at the PDP State Secretariat in Osogbo ON Wednesday.
He warmly welcomed the returnees and urged them not to see themselves as strangers, noting that many of them had begun their political journey in the PDP before being ‘misled into the den of political devourers’.
He encouraged them to rejoin other youth organs in the party and resume their vital role as a mobilization team for Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.
Giving his speech, the state coordinator of the forum, Mr Solomon Fasogbon, described their experience in the opposition as terrible and harrowing, a reality that prompted members of the forum to return to what he called their original base.
Mr Fasogbon praised the Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke administration describing it as not only people-friendly but one that has reshaped the social and economic landscape of Osun State.
He pledged the group’s unflinching support for the PDP and to Governor Adeleke’s re-election bid, noting that ‘supporting His Excellency’s re-election is the only way to consolidate on the remarkable progress achieved so far under the PDP-led administration’.
Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Right Honorable Lasun Yusuff, who was also at the event, urged the people of the state to remain strong in the face of any intimidation, as the people of Osun State cannot afford to surrender governance of the state to the hands of sterk misfits in the APC, who know and care next to nothing about the future of the state.
The event was witnessed by many stalwarts of the party, including members of the state working committee, members of the state executive council, local government chairmen and party chairmen across all the 30 local governments in the state -Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
