Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Alliance Democratic Party (ADP) in Osun state on Sunday defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Irewole local government area of the state.

Also retraced their steps back to the party are scores of the Aregbesola caucus of The Osun Progressive (TOP), a factional group of the party. 

The defectors who were led to the party by a former Secretary of the local government, Alimi Surajudeen, described the PDP as an oppressed party that victimises and maltreats its members.

According to them, some of the PDP members were sidelined in the scheme of things while unequal treatment persists within the circle of the party.

They stressed that the leadership of the party are of double standard favouring, only the perceived friends and family and neglecting other members who have suffered for the progress of the party.

“I was a former Secretary of the local government during Oyinlola’s tenure. Political party is to help the masses and not for a group of people. In a situation where out of 100, only 2 percent are enjoying, such a government is creating suffering and problems for the masses”.

“When you are in a party and you don’t feel belonging and isolated, and the party is doing things only within their friends and families, it is not a party for the masses, I don’t think I can go along with such a party. 

“In Osun state, especially in Irewole, only those they see as family are dominating without giving other people the opportunity to have the dividend of democracy, I can not being (sic) to such a party.”

While receiving them into the party’s fold in his hometown in Ikire, the MD/CEO of National Inland Waterways, Bola Oyebamiji, appreciated the defectors, saying they have taken the right decision at the right time. 

He however assured them that the APC’s positive impacts would be greatly felt in their lives.

Oyebamiji, who described the APC as the only party that could give the defectors succour, attributed their decampment to an ordained one from Almighty God.
