Osun 2018: How Obasanjo, Oyinlola prevailed on me to pick ADC ticket — Akinbade

THE flag bearer of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the forthcoming September 22 governorship poll in Osun, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, on Friday in Osogbo gave an insight into how former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola prevailed on him to pick the party’s ticket
Akinbade, who said he would not blame anybody for his resolve to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expressed optimism of winning the coming gubernatorial election made this disclosure while fielding questions from a journalist during an interactive session held inside the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Osun State Council, Osogbo.
He stated, “we were in the Labour Party (LP) sometimes in last year. There were having issues with a caretaker committee of the PDP in Osun. Both two factions came to beg me. I consulted with my people and we all decided to go back to PDP. You knew what happened during the primaries in July. Some of them said it to my face that Akinbade is a good candidate, but he has no money.”
“We formed the PDP together. I was chairman of the PDP when the party was at zero level. During my period, we built the party to the level of winning 26 House of Assembly seats and governorship election. I left the PDP then due to a high level of impunity. My boss Oyinlola was removed as national secretary. He challenged the case in court and won even at the appeal court. Shortly after, he was suspended.”
“Erelu too was removed as Minister, we beamed very agitative and they suspended six of us for giving Oyinlola a rousing welcome. They said we committed anti-party activity. We knew the party was heading to the rocks. We went Labour Party and the party became a force to be reckoned with”, Akinbade remarked.
