The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has encouraged the ruling All Progressive Party in the state to continue to live in self denial despite been faced with realities.
The Publicity secretary of the party, Akinloye Bankole gave this advice in his reaction to a release by the State Publicity Secretary of APC, Tunde Oladunjoye on Monday, Bankole told the Governor of the State, Prince Dapo Abiodun and his ruling party party to face realities and accept their fate of loosing their members to the Peoples Democratic Party on daily basis.
He said “one will not be surprised with the denial of Oladunjoye that notable members of their party left for PDP, because he (Oladunjoye) is known to be a perpetual confusionist, and he keeps justifying the position of Otunba Gbenga Daniel on his person as OGD described him as a “tragic character”.
“The same he said when our Deputy Governorship candidate Hon. Adekunle Akinlade dumped their failed party; one wonders when Oladunjoye will ever face reality and be truthful. Instead of him to concentrate on redeeming his dented image by Otunba Gbenga Daniel, he continues to add salt upon injury with his illusions just because he wants to always react.” Bankole added.
He went further to clarify that “the PDP is not a party that will call blue as white but a party that always uphold the truth. Against the APC proclamation some months ago that 5,000 members of PDP decamped from Iperu to their sinking party, we (PDP) had open declarations by the leaders of Governor Dapo Abiodun, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Chief Olusegun Osoba groups in APC; and other groups from ADC , Labour Party as well as other parties”
“PDP is proud of all democratic structures that are embedded in the administration of our great party and that explains our unrelenting determination to woo and bring all men of good conscience on board, in progressive partnership to wrestle power from Dapo Abiodun and his wrecked ship, the rudderless APC come 2023”.
“As we have our eyes on the ball, we are not bothered by the APC response to the gale of defections from its ghost house to our party. It still confirms the fact that Dapo Abiodun and APC still dwell in self denial”.
“Governor Abiodun and his team should note very quickly, that his emergency populism in terms of last minute appointment of new commissioners, members of governing councils of some tertiary institutions in the state, the photo ops around Ota and its environs, emergency visits to wards and Local Governments which were hitherto abandoned before the PDP’s victory in the Osun guber election, and several other panic measures, calculated attempts to diminishing the rising acceptability of the PDP and our candidates for the 2023 general elections by the good people of Ogun, can not and will not save the governor and its APC from incurring the wrath of the people just as demonstrated in osun state. OGUN people are wiser than his antics and fake show of compassion”.
“APC should note that the gale of defections that took well over 10,000 people from the APC and other political party to PDP last Friday, in Abeokuta was just the first batch. It was a preamble to burial of agony and misery that Abiodun and his APC represent. Ogun state PDP shall continue to receive new people, especially high profiled members of the ruling APC every week as we build up to the election next year”.
Bankole concluded by saying “While we encourage Mr governor and its APC to continue to bask in self consolatory photo ops and press statements, we make bold to tell the public to get their permanent voters’ card ready. That is the only legitimate tool with which Ogun state would be ushered once again, into an era of socioeconomic abundance and unlimited prosperity”.
