Hon. Owoeye Samuel Abiodun (OSA), Party Leaders, and Ward Executives Welcome PDP Defectors to APC in Ward 7, Esa-Oke

A significant political shift occurred in Ward 7, Esa-Oke, as the PDP Ward Chairman, Mr. Faniyi Omolayo, and the PDP Local Government Secretary, Hon. Omotosho Oladipo, officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside their supporters.

The defection took place during a meeting held at the APC Ward 7 Secretariat in Esa-Oke, Obokun East LCDA. Hundreds of PDP supporters also renounced their membership to join the APC, marking a historic moment in the local political landscape.

This wave of defections underscores the growing popularity of the APC in Obokun and Osun State, reflecting increasing confidence in the party’s policies and programs.

Mr. Faniyi Omolayo and Hon. Omotosho Oladipo cited the APC's commitment to good governance, transparency, and accountability as their primary reasons for switching allegiance. According to the decampees, they are excited to join a party that shares their values and vision for a better Osun State.

Hon. Owoeye Samuel Abiodun (OSA) and other APC leaders warmly welcomed the new members, assuring them of equal opportunities and a level playing field within the party. He stated that the APC looks forward to working with the new members to build a stronger, more united political front.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
