JUST IN: Wole Oke Strikes Again as Commissioner Loses Ex-Ward Secretary, 37 Loyalists to APC

In another political shake-up within the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), federal lawmaker Hon. Wole Oke has received a fresh batch of defectors this time from the stronghold of Hon. Mayowa Adejorin, the state's Commissioner for Environment.

An ex-ward secretary and 37 others who were loyal to Adejorin have dumped the PDP and pledged allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC), in what observers are calling a growing tide of realignment ahead of 2026.

The latest defection took place in Adejorin’s hometown, sending a strong message about the dwindling influence of the

commissioner and the widening appeal of Hon. Wole Oke, whose recent move to the APC continues to unsettle the PDP leadership.

According to sources close to the defectors, the move was motivated by dissatisfaction with the PDP’s internal handling of local interests, and growing trust in Oke’s leadership and vision for inclusive governance.

With each wave of political realignment, Wole Oke appears to be reinforcing his status as a formidable force in Osun politics, transforming quiet discontent into coordinated action.
