Makinde’s Good Deeds Drawing Away Opposition – Aides

Members of the opposition parties in Oyo State will continue to defect into the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a result of the good governance  being provided by Governor Seyi Makinde, the Special Adviser on Strategy and Political Matters, Hon. Babatunde Oduyoye, has said.

Oduyoye made this position on Wednesday, while receiving a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogbomoso North Local Government, who recently defected into the PDP, Chief Akinwole  Akinwale popularly known as Wolekanle, at the Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Ibadan.

A statement by the Special Assistant (Print Media) to Governor Makinde, Moses Alao, indicated that the Director-General of the Oyo State Advertising and Signage Agency, Hon. Temi Adibi and the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, were also present at the meeting.

According to the duo, the good works of the Governor Makinde administration have begun to show across the four service point agenda and that these have begun to attract opposition elements, adding that Akinwale would not regret joining the transformation team.

Akinwale, who until his defection to the PDP, was the Secretary of Ogbomoso North Local Government, while speaking at the office of the Special Adviser, said Makinde’s achievements within a short period have been visible.

“The works and tremendous achievements of Governor Makinde are extremely visible. What he has done in a very short period of time, as a youth, is a motivation for me. Each time I go to Ogbomoso or come around to Oyo State, I see his hands left and right. All his campaign promises have been almost fulfilled.

“As I defected to the PDP, I am very sure there will be a mass exodus to the party,” Akinwale said.

In his speech, Adibi described Akinwale as an asset to the PDP, stating that the party he dumped has been smarting from his exit, as according to him, Wolekanle is ‘a strong pillar in Ogbomoso.’

Speaking earlier, Hon. Oduyoye, who welcomed Akinwale to the PDP, said he was convinced that the former APC chieftain and renowned philanthropist saw what the Makinde administration has been doing and that his decision to join the party, which is transforming the state at a great rate, is a step in the right direction.
