Former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party remains a very strong political platform in the state, despite the defection of the current governor, Ademola Adeleke, to the Accord Party.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting of the party held in Osogbo on Thursday, which had in attendance, the caretaker Chairman and Secretary of the party in the state, Tunde Tijani and Seyi Bamidele respectively, Oyinlola explained that the purpose of the meeting was to educate “our teeming supporters and members of our party on the situation of things in the PDP, both at the national level and the state level.
“There have been some confusing narratives being pushed out about the status of PDP, especially in Osun State, and what we have done today is to narrate situations as they are to our members, so that the entire wards and local governments in Osun will know exactly where PDP stands today in Osun State,” Oyinlola said.
Addressing insinuations that PDP in the state has collapsed its structures into the Accord Party to ensure Adeleke’s emergence in the next governorship poll, Oyinlola said, “PDP is a party that has its tentacles in all the nooks and crannies of this country. It is not in our own time that we will allow it to die.
“We are holding on to PDP. If tomorrow, our governor decides to come back and be with his family in PDP, he is most welcome, but for now, PDP is standing in Osun State strongly.”
