I May Join APC Or PDP, Says Opeyemi Bamidele by Ayekotoo(m): 5:50am On Sep 09, 2014
The candidate of the Labour Party in the June
21 Ekiti Governorship election and member of
the House of Representatives, Opeyemi
Bamidele, has signaled that he might join the
All Progressives Congress or the Peoples
Democratic Party.
He revealed that he had been under intense
pressure from both parties ahead of the 2015
general elections.
Bamidele stated this in Ekiti on Monday while
addressing journalists on the outcome of the
consultation meeting he held with the
leadership of his party to discuss the way
forward.
He defected to the LP last year September,
following irreconcilable differences with
Governor Kayode Fayemi,
The federal lawmaker, who disclosed that he
would contest for political position in 2015,
added that his party had set up an 11-man
committee to study the possibility of reaching a
good working relationship with either of the
political parties.
Bamidele said, “We have become beautiful
brides because of the kind of manifesto we
presented while campaigning for the June 21
election. So, any party that has the interest of
the people at heart will like to work with us on
the basis of what we have, which we are
ideologically and emotionally attached to.”
Bamidele, who said he was ready to work with
anybody in the overriding interest of the
people, however, kept mum on what political
office he would be vying for and the platform.
He said, “Ayodele Fayose, as governor-elect,
has indicated interest to work with me. He had
never hidden that fact. He had visited me
personally and he has been talking to us.
“Even the APC had also been reaching out,
seeking genuine reconciliation for us to come
back and rebuild the party. They are not only
making rapproachement to me alone, but to
every member of the party, even at the local
level. So, this goes beyond my own personal
opinion. It is a collective thing.
“But I want to state here that we will not
compromise because the LP leaders have not
come to conclusion to merge with any political
party in Ekiti. But whatever step we are going
to take will be in overall interest of the
populace.”
He charged members of the party with political
ambitions to begin to network with other
political parties for the realisation of their
dreams.

Nobody pressurises you liar but looking for a cool haven and you better join your boss “MIMIKO” in PDP to complete your plan. From the present happenings I would suggest Nigeria have 2 thriving Political parties instead of half live parties that will not serve any useful purpose to the electorates and the country
