Oyebamiji receives PDP defectors into APC, says Accord Party sinking

The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has received defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the party. 

He also declared the Accord Party to which Governor, Ademola Adeleke belongs is fast losing relevance and sinking in the State.

The APC candidate spoke during a meeting with PDP defectors conveyed by founder of Ajisope Development Initiative, Abdulkabir Adeoye.

He urged members of the ruling party to join his guber ambition for better governance. 

He dispelled  claims by Adeleke that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu advised him to join Accord Party, saying, “we must not give room for lies and rigging plots by the party.”

He said: “There is no way for those who are still in Accord Party. Tell them to come and join us. The President did not tell anybody to go to Accord Party as they are saying around.”

He advised members of Ajisope initiative to go and work in their units and make sure they deliver them, saying “it is operation win your unit. Let us go and work in our unit. Try to win your unit. Immediately we win the election, we should know that joy has come.”

Oyebamiji, who also disputed claims that he plans to reduce workers salary, stated that no reasonable person will try that. 

He also faulted claims that he released a blueprint that is not favourable to the people of Osun, saying lies can not save the present government from being sent packing on August 8.

The founder Ajisope Development Initiative, Adeoye condemned the style of governance by the present administration in the state, describing it as a government by the Ede and for the Ede.

“We are confident that APC is winning the coming election. The present government does not want to know that other towns exist except their hometown, Ede. The road that leads to my hometown, Oba, is in a dilapidated condition. Let them know that we are tired of this government of Ede, by Ede, and for Ede.”

The leader of the defectors, Hon. Raji Kareem, explained that the initiative has gathered defectors from different political parties, while artisans and professional bodies have also joined the initiative.

He lamented unequal treatment in the PDP, vowing that he would use his influence to see to the emergence of Oyebamiji in the August 8 governorship election.
