The Chairman, House of
Representatives Committee on
Legislative Budget and Research,
Opeyemi Bamidele, on Tuesday led
other members of the Labour Party
into the All Progressives Congress in
Ekiti State.
The candidate of the LP in the Ekiti
2014 Governorship Election said his
return to the party was not to flex
muscle with its leaders.
The lawmaker representing Ekiti
Central Federal Constituency 1 had
deployed his platform, the Ekiti
Bibire Coalition, to mobilise support
for the President-elect, Muhammadu
Buhari, in the March 28 Presidential
election.
Bamidele, in 2013, formed Ekiti
Bibire Coalition to realise his
governorship ambition within the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria.
This pitted him against the then
governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, and
led to his eventual ouster from the
party.

At a press conference in his Iyin
Ekiti country home, Bamidele said
they took the step in a bid to rescue
the party from the brink of collapse
which was occasioned by the defeat
it suffered to Governor Ayodele
Fayose during the June 21
governorship poll.
He praised the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari; the National
Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu; former National Chairman,
Chief Bisi Akande, and his successor,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, for their
belief in him despite his defection to
the LP.
At the briefing were Bamidele’s
running mate in the Ekiti
governorship poll, Alhaja Maryam
Ogunlade; the LP Chairman in the
state, Mr. Akin Omole; Secretary,
Abiola Olowokere; the Director
General, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele
Campaign Organisation, Mr. Ropo
Ige and Prof. Joseph Oluwasanmi.
Others include candidates in the just
concluded national and state House
of Assembly elections and chairmen
of the party in the 16 council areas
and the 177 wards.
Bamidele said, “By and large,
politics, if it is meant to serve the
common interest, must be a
dynamic aspect of human
endeavour that embodies a whole
process of expression, competition
and reconciliation of personal
interests for the ultimate benefit of
the people.
“Let me use this opportunity to
reiterate that my decision to contest
for the governorship of Ekiti State is
borne out of my innate conviction
and that of many like-minds, most of
whom are illustrious sons and
daughters of this great state. Though
the ACN-led administration then
was doing its best, however, its best
was not enough for our much
expectant but highly disillusioned
people.
“Invariably, I would have loved to
stand in for the governorship race
on the platform of the ACN, as a
vision-driven progressive party,
under the leadership of an equally
dynamic leader, benefactor and
mentor of mine, Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
“But when it became apparent that
party primaries for candidate
selection was not likely to hold in
the Ekiti chapter of the ACN/APC, I
had no choice at some point in the
course of expressing my intent to
offer our people a better leadership
than to move to another suitable
party where I could be offered the
ticket to contest in the ensuing
governorship election.”

My tots;

Opeyemi Bamidele should FVCK off. He fractured the house due to his impatience and personal ambition. Now he's about to go extinct, he is coming back.

Well as God as enjoined us, we forgive him
