Gov Adeleke, Other PDP Leaders In ‘Panic Mode’… Fence-Mending Efforts ‘Belated’ -Osun APC
Osun state APC has alleged that Governor Ademola Adeleke and leaders of his party, the PDP , have been in a panic mode because of the upcoming massive defection of some PDP leaders and members to the leading opposition party in the state, the APC ,in thousands.
‘Information has it that Governor Adeleke and the chairman of the Osun state chapter of the PDP, Mr Sunday Bisi, hurriedly caused a meeting of some of the hitherto neglected state PDP leaders to be held at the Government House, in order to show the continued phony loyalty of the said party leaders to the PDP subsequent to the planned defection of Omo Oba Dotun Babayemi and Dr Akin Ogunbiyi along with thousands of their supporters.
The media spaces of print, electronics and social media extractions have been awashed with the news of the planned defection of Babayemi, former PDP governorship aspirant and Ogunbiyi who was also a PDP and Accord Party’s governorship aspirant and who contested the 2022 governorship election.
Investigation across the state has shown that the state PDP leaders have not been at ease since the resolve of Ogunbiyi and Babayemi to defect to the APC with their supporters across the nooks and crannies of the state’ the state APC chairman, , Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, on Wednesday.
The state APC also laid the blame for the massive defections from the ruling party on Governor Adeleke and his ‘Pathfinder Osun PDP faction’ while submitting that efforts to achieve unity in the party would not produce desired results because the governor has shown that he is neither a gentleman nor a promise keeper.
‘How on earth would Governor Adeleke think that he could assuage some of his party leaders that he had been instrumental in their political mob attacks in the past because of his rabid ambition to forcefully become the PDP governorship candidate before the last guber election in the state?
What is the propriety of Senator Adeleke, a PDP governor, turning the State Government House into a party secretariat where the activities of the party are being run as well as in the Ede country home of the Adelekes?
If my memory is not failing me, it is on record that since Adeleke became the state governor some 17 months ago, he has visited the state PDP Secretariat only once which made the party office to have been overgrown with weeds and desolate condition.
It is late in the day for Adeleke to be contemplating holding of any reconciliation and harmonization meeting(s) of the glaringly robbed and shortchanged disenchanted leaders of the state PDP as there is nothing to show that it will be done in good faith.
The fear of the defection of Babayemi and Ogunbiyi from the PDP to the APC is the beginning of wisdom for Governor Adeleke and his cohorts.
We are not unaware as a party that Governor Adeleke himself has lost count of the number of the frivolous appointments of unmerited Special Advisers (without cabinet), Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants under his administration in order to hang on to power.
Let’s make it abundantly clear to Governor Adeleke that even if he appoints all the people of Osun state to government positions, such an executive recklessness would not, in any way, confer any special advantage on him as the PDP government would be sent packing in the state through democratic means in the forthcoming 2026 guber election in the state’ Lawal added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
