THE ruling Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Ondo state has suffered a set back as two former commissioners, Local government Chairmen and two former Lawmakers defected to the opposition All Progressive Congress APC. They claimed that over 5000 of former PDP chieftains dumped the ruling party for the opposition Party.

The former commissioners include that of former Adult, Technical and Vocational Education Mrs Kehinde Momoh and that of Local government and Chieftaincy Affairs Mr. Tayo Oluwatuyi. Others include former members of the state House of Assembly Bamido Omogbehin and Oyebo Aladetan‎ and the former Chairmen of local governments include Prince Olu Falolu, Tobi Akinlalu, Bailey Arohunmolase. Other former political office holders under the present government who jumped ship included Kasali Obanoyen, Chief Ajani Oladipupo, Mr Yele Akinya and Segun Ogodo.

Speaking on behalf of defectors, Arohunmolase attributed their joining the APC to failed promises of the PDP led government in the state. Arohunmolase said they are set to work in line of the APC directives at winning the governorship in November this year.

The Chairman of the APC, Isaacs Kekemeke at the ceremony held at the party secretariat in Akure described the defection” as the end of PDP’s hold on the politics of the state. Kekemeke promised to give all members equal right and level playing field to achieve their desires.

He stated that the party would put in place measures towards ensuring victory in the November polls and urged Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal government. Reacting to the defectors, the Publicity Secretary of the ruling PDP‎, Banji Okunomo described their action as good riddance to bad rubbish. Okunomo pointed out that they have no political relevance in their constituencies hence the reason they jumped ship at this crucial time. He added that ‎the defectors would be disappointed when they get to the opposition party. The Publicity Secretary assured the party members that the November election would separate the men from the boys.

I think having SW governors under one umbrella is the key for survival at this critical period. Many Yorubas on this forum will disagree with me and that's fine. This is just my opinion.

I don't care which party, APC/PDP/KOWA makes it happen. SW needs to speak in one voice. Imagine Fayose, instead of inviting other SW governors to celebrate the mediocre projects he commissioned, he invited people wey no sabi how Yorubas survive. He should have had leaders from the SW region + Kwara + Yoruba Kogi present.

Fayose is causing a wedge in Yoruba union. He's becoming the modern Afonja of the SW.

No matter which party we embrace, Yoruba is Yoruba. We need to start viewing Politics the same way we view religion; Yorubas first before anything.

Ignorance is bliss. Does kwara state have an emir? In your haste to point out Ilorin, you showed your miseducation. The current governor of Kwara is of Yoruba descent, his presence in EKiti would have solidified the union.

I doubt you're Yoruba, because if you were, you'd have known that:

1. Ilorin is not Kwara, but a location in Kwara
2. Ilorin Emir doesn't dictate to 80% of Yorubas in Kwara, but to the 20% of Fulanis in Kwara.
3. You don't need to believe me, believing in yourself and who you are should have been enough.

The same PDP that's begging its members not to leave?
They wouldn't hesitate to register a Fulani cow to round up their number.

Have you finished??

Has the Emir been installed as demanded?
No, I guess.. So we talk when it's done.. Spluttering saliva all over the place won't help you as long as its FULANI Emir on the sit.. I cant talk to you.
