Olusola Oke’s Supporters Dump PDP For APC by POPdecorator: 8:10am On Aug 17, 2015
Over 3,400 members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State, who were loyalists of the former candidate of the party in the October 20, 2012 governorship election in the state and now a member of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Olusola Oke, have defected to the APC.
At the event held in Igbokoda, the headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area of the state, on Saturday, the defectors said they took the decision to leave the PDP because of the mismanagement that the party had plunged the country into in the past 16 years of its ruling.
Addressing the defectors, Oke, who decamped to the APC shortly after the last Presidential election, said that the time had come for all Ilaje sons and daughters to dump the PDP, which he said had brought untold hardship to the people in the country.
He said, “I am ashamed of being a member of a party that has plunged the country into calamity. With the revelation coming out now, I have to apologise to my teeming supporters and Nigerians that my former party brought Nigeria to her knees.”
Oke, a former National Legal Adviser of the PDP, declared that the change that had taken root at the federal level would soon berth in the state in the next year governorship election and the local government later in the year when elevations would be held for the third tier of government.
He said, “The change that had taken over Nigeria will come to Ondo State. This is the time for change in Ondo State. It is not good for this state to be in opposition to the Federal Government and hence, this state must be in tandem with the government at the centre. We want to take over the government both at the state and local government levels.”
A former leader of the PDP in the riverine areas of Ilaje, Prince Glory Okuntade, while speaking on behalf of other defectors, said they were leaving the PDP because they had nothing to show their teeming supporters in the area in terms of development that their membership of the PDP had brought to them.

I cant wait to kick Mimiko from that seat. Could you imagine that there is no light in almost 4 local government for more than a year in Ondo state. There is no lga councik where our complains can be lodged. There is only the state government which is not showing any sign of concern.

Mimiko has become Igi buruku and must be pull down
