BREAKING: Power Shift in Osun – Iseoluwa Omole, Ward 10 Leaders Dump PDP for APC, Back Wole Oke's Rising Bloc

In a major realignment shaking Osun’s political base, grassroots heavyweight Iseoluwa Omole and leaders from Ward 10, Ilare Ijesa, have officially parted ways with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Their defection comes in the wake of Hon. Oluwole Wole Oke’s rece

nt exit from the PDP, following extensive consultations with stakeholders in the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency.

The move signals a swelling tide of support for Wole Oke’s political blueprint, with local influencers rallying behind his renewed vision under the APC banner.

Oke, an influential federal lawmaker and Chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, cited internal discord and a quest for transparency as key reasons for his departure.

This growing exodus from the PDP reflects a deeper shift in Osun’s grassroots dynamics—one that could reshape the 2025 political calculus.

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.

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. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

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...
