Ahead of the November 26 governorship election
in Ondo State, Chief Olusola Oke, one of the
aggrieved governorship aspirants of the All
Progressives Congress ( APC ) , yesterday
decamped to Alliance for Democracy ( AD ) .
Oke, who polled 576 votes after the September 3
gubernatorial primaries of the APC , said he
dumped the party because of injustice .
His defection to the AD ends weeks of
speculation about his next political move . It also
marked the climax of the crisis rocking the APC
over its controversial governorship primary that
produced Chief Oluwarotimi Akeredolu ( SAN ) as
the winner of the exercise .
It would be recalled that the National Chairman
of APC , Chief John Odigie -Oyegun overruled the
decision of the National Working Committee
( NWC) that called for fresh primary following
irregularities detected by the Appeal Committee
that probed the post - primary crisis.
Mr. Oyegun ’ s decision to unilaterally over - ride
the party ’ s NWC pitched him against a National
Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu , who
called for his resignation .
Addressing crowd of supporters at his Ijapo
estate residence in Akure , the state capital
yesterday, Mr. Oke said since the leadership of
the party had failed to do justice to the
irregularities, he decided to ‘ step aside’ from
APC in order realise his aspiration under the AD .
Oke, who was the former National Legal Adviser
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP , described
APC as a good party but lamented it had been
hijacked by some cabals.
According to him, it was illogical and wrong for
Oyegun to jettison the verdict of the majority
members of the NWC when it was cleared the
shadow election was allegedly manipulated in
favour of the governorship candidate , Rotimi
Akeredolu ( SAN ) .
Oke noted that many APC stakeholders including
Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar , had condemned the NWC , calling for
cancellation of the exercise , which was not
addressed .
The legal practitioner assured his supporters that
by God ’ s grace, he would actualise his dream on
the platform of the AD .

The list of the delegates for the primary election was manipulated by akeredolu hours before the election,the list used was different from the one buhari presented them, about 200 names of other delegats were removed and filled with Akeredolu's illegal delegates.


Olusegun Abraham didn't know this ,that was why he congratulated Akeredolu immediately after his win ,until he later got to know,that was why he together with ,borrifice and Olusola oke called for the cancellation of the election


After an APC panel was set to look at the matter,upon investigation, they found out that the election was manipulated and called for a re-run.


But maybe Akeredolu has bribed Oyegun, he declared that there will be no re-run election instead,insisted that Akeredolu become the flag-bearer.

This injustice has prompted Oke to defect to a neutral party, the AD.

And personally, it should be a welcome development, its high time we started giving chances to the small political parties in Nigeria rather than the APC and PDP who has looted and is still looting our funds for years now.


Olusola Oke for governor
