Adeseun Dumps PDP Join APC, Says Makinde Is A Beneficiary Of Rots In PDP |OGBOMOSO INFO|




A gubernatorial aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election in Oyo state, Senator Ayoade Adeseun(SOLAR) has confirmed dumping the party for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Adeseun who contested the PDP ticket against Governor Seyi Makinde confirmed this in a telephone conversation on a Radio programme tagged Political Circuit on Fresh FM Ibadan.

While speaking, the former Oyo Central Senatorial District Senator said he was the one that brought Governor Seyi Makinde and many others back to PDP. He added that Makinde is a beneficiary of the rots in the party.

He said “Well, it’s absolutely true because it’s most unfortunate that the PDP has basically become an everything goes party, at the National level in particular. And when you have a National leadership that’s not forward looking, corrupt, that takes people for granted.

It’s only fair that one looks for alternative platform to achieve one’s objective. I basically led those who rebuild PDP after the 2015 imbroglio but it’s time to move on, this is my decision and I’m moving on to the APC which I see as a more veritable platform for achieving the goals we set for ourselves.

“The party structure in Oyo state was basically what I led people to build. We went through the wards, went through local governments up till the state level. Prior to that, the party was in shambles but we were able to build up.

I brought Seyi Makinde back to PDP. The likes of Venerable Governor Ladoja came back to the PDP because of the efforts we built to woo people back to the party.
And we were confident that if there were to be free and fair primary, we will prevail.

 The national changed the delegates list, we were the one who did the list, we knew who they were but they didn’t release it until the day of the primary. And when they came, all our delegates we brought to the stadium couldn’t find their names on the list which means they deliberately engineered the list. And that’s the game the leadership played.

With the way I looked at it, I actually don’t think Governor Makinde is responsible for this. He just happened to be a beneficiary the rots at the National level of PDP”.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
