A former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and his wife, lost to the rival political party, the PDP at their polling units in Okuku.

Oyinlola, who recently defected to the APC voted at Ward One, Unit Three.

The result at the ward indicated that the PDP scored 125 while the APC got 61.

At 008 where his wife voted, the PDP got 105 while the APC garnered 41.

Some of the supporters of the former governor who spoke with our correspondent, said his supporters in the PDP had “been settled by the PDP. So, we couldn’t defect with him.”

One of them, who spoke with our correspondent at Okuku, said “we kept on asking whether we should defect to the APC.

“But he was assuring us that we should remain in PDP. But by the time he was going to defect, we have been settled by the PDP, so we couldn’t defect.”

When our correspondent visited his house, his aides said the former governor just returned and that he had left instruction that he should not be disturbed.

“He told us that he was attending a meeting and that he should not be disturbed,” the security aide said.

That means he is a political liability now. smh for politics

It really doesn't matter if he loses his ward to PDP in as much as Ogbeni Rauf wins the poll.

Congrats Sen.Omisore

The tide is clearly in favour of Aregbesola. This is however time to guard votes and figures diligently to the end.

Both candidates have really worked hard and I think Osun represents some level of maturity that our politics has come to witness.

Congratultions to the Ogbeni if he wins. Oyinlola really had nothing to offer. He should have been left in the PDP.

The problem is not with the govt of GEJ but the fact that most people around him and those seeking for his attention are expired and lack direction. How could Oyinola have overrated himself, thinking GEJ does not know his political value?
