The People’s Democratic Party, Osun State
Chapter held her gubernatorial primaries at
the G.M.T Hotel, Osogbo yesterday which
was well attended by party loyalists,
delegates and members of PDP across the
nooks and crannies of Osun State. Party
chieftains, ward executives and local
government party leaders graced the
occasion as party delegates gathered to pick
their choice of candidate to bear the flag
bearer of the party at the September 22,
2018 gubernatorial election in the state of
Osun.

It was reliably gathered that three candidates
participated in the primary after Hon.
Adejare Bello stepped down in the early
hours of the Primary based on advice and
appeal by party leaders. Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi,
Senator Ademola Adeleke and Alhaji Fatai
Akinade Akinbade were only candidates who
participated in the PDP primaries after other
candidates have stepped down for peace to
reign in the party as reasonable gathered.
OLUWOLE OKE, SOJI ADAGUNODO AND
DIRAN ODEYEMI were the lead major factors
supporting Akin Ogunbiyi and they were
determined to ensure that Akin Ogunbiyi
emerge.

One of our reporters at the venue of party
primaries reportedly stated that the primary
election was going on smoothly until
suspicious moves started towards the end of
the primary election. According to reports
from a party leader and observer who
prefers to remain anonymous stated that
Adeleke supporters stormed the venue of the
primary election and caused great
disturbance as they noticed attempt
manipulation of the election results in favour
of Akin Ogunbiyi.

In reactions to this act, it was reported by
our reporter who witnessed and covered the
party primary that party delegates started
shouting Ole(Thief), Wobia, Oleeeee at the
party’s chairman, Olusoji Adagunodo, Diran
Odeyemi and Oluwole Oke. They were saved
from the actions of these aggrieved party
delegates by uniform policemen attached to
them as party delegates moved harshly
towards their vehicles to take their pound of
flesh.

Further investigation revealed that members
of the party were disappointed in the leaders
of the party. An old Partyman delegate who
said that he is from Ifelodun said “Soji
Adagunodo disappointed us. We thought that
he’s God-fearing and respects the party and
her members but we never knew that he’s
just a deceiver and fake person” while
another party delegate from Obokun said
that “I am not surprised at all. If you’re from
Obokun, you will know that Oluwole Oke is
not a dependable person. He is from my
local government and I know that he is
desperate and selfish.
