A video, jingle which has been circulating on social media, revealed that the former Commissioner, who is a vocal critic of Governor Oyetola, had planned to defect to the PDP on March 23, along with his supporters.
When contacted Alimi revealed that defection to the opposition PDP is imminent if the differences between the Osun progressives TOP and the governor’s IleriOluwa group cannot be resolved.
He said “The date fixed for my decamping to PDP on the jingle was 23rd March 2022, it has elapsed and is outdated.
“Although there is a plan to join PDP, no date has been fixed. I don’t know anything about that jingle, I will make an official declaration if I am defecting.”
“It is possible to decamp to the PDP because we have issues with Oyetola, which everybody knows, so it is a possibility. If it gets to the level of defecting, why not, but as of today, I am still a member of APC,” he said.
