THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has made incursions into the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This followed the defection of an APC chieftain and elder brother to the state Deputy Governor, Chief Sunday Laoye and his supporters into the PDP.
The National Secretary of the PDP, Professor Wale Ladipo, received Laoye and introduced him to the party leadership at a crowded rally at the party secretariat in Osogbo.
He noted that the coming of Laoye to the PDP had boosted the chances of the party, as the defector was a grassroots mobiliser that would bring success to the PDP in Osun.
On his decision to join the PDP, Laoye described the APC as a sinking ship and a party that had lost focus.
He accused the leadership of APC of caring for their interest alone, adding that the system is in the habit of “using dumping its members.”
Laoye berated the government of Governor Rauf Aregbesola for its alleged deceit, saying that it had plunged the state into pangs of hunger, and made artisans and contractors to suffer since the inception of the administration.
His words: “Aregbesola’s government is a deceit and for the past three and half years, nothing concrete has happened in the state.
“As from today, his government has fallen. I have been moving with a gangster party for quite some time and I can no longer tolerate them.”
Laoye said he and his supporters would work hard for the success of the PDP in the August 9, 2014 governorship election.
The chairman of PDP in Osun State, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, noted that for Laoye and his supporters to dump the APC “speaks volume of the development in the ruling party.”
He alleged that Aregbesola had brought poverty and starvation to the state due to his government’s bad policy of demolition of houses, shops and business premises without providing an alternative to ameliorate the people’s suffering.
Olaoluwa urged party members to prepare to win the coming election by going to the nooks and crannies of the state to mobilise the citizens, including members of the ruling party for the governorship contest.
