Obokun/Oriade Coordinator, Awodiran Ikeolu Dumps PDP, Aligns with Wole Oke's Rising Bloc






In a move that has sent ripples through the political landscape of Obokun and Oriade local government areas, Awodiran Ikeolu, a prominent grassroots coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has officially parted ways with the party to join the political movement led by Hon. Wole Oke.


Awodiran, known for his deep connections with the electorate and tireless mobilization efforts, announced his defection yesterday, citing a need for alignment with a vision that reflects the true yearnings of the people. 


According to sources close to the development, the former PDP stalwart described Wole Oke's political structure as "a breath of fresh air" and "a platform for genuine service, not self-preservation."


Observers believe this is a major blow to the PDP in the region, as Awodiran's influence spans multiple wards, with loyal supporters expected to follow his lead. His defection comes at a time when internal wranglings within the PDP have created growing uncertainty, and many party faithful are said to be re-evaluating their positions.



Wole Oke, a respected federal lawmaker with deep roots in Osun East, has been steadily building a formidable political force ahead of the next election cycle for President BAT, addition of Awodiran Ikeolu to his ranks is expected to further strengthen his base and sway public opinion in the dual local government zones.


Reacting to the development, supporters of Wole Oke celebrated the move as a testament to the growing credibility of their leader. As Osun's political permutations continue to unfold, one thing is clear, the realignments are far from over.

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...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
