Osun state chapter of the Accord has mocked the decision of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola to support the All Progressives Congress in the August 15 governorship election, noting that it has no political consequence as the former governor actually worked against Governor Adeleke in both 2018 and 2022.
Reacting to the endorsement of the Osun APC candidate by the Okuku prince and other Peoples Democratic Party leaders on Sunday, the state chairman of Accord, Pastor Victor Akande, in a statement, recalled that Prince Oyinlola, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade and Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo actively worked against the election of the governor in 2022 but failed to stop the governor from winning.
The party submitted that the trio rejoined the governor after his victory in 2022 and benefitted greatly from the administration, affirming that the former governor has only gone back to his vomit.
“Osun Accord remains ever strong and Governor Adeleke remains unbeatable in the forthcoming polls. Those who left have never really supported the governor in previous election battles.
In 2018 and 2022, they voted and worked against the governor. They failed to stop the governor’s victory. After they failed, they rejoined the governor and enjoyed positive treatment from the administration whose emergence they did not support.
“As another cycle of election is knocking again, they opportunistically moved back to a party that is killing and maiming Osun people. So their movement has no political effect on the re-election of Mr Governor.
Go to their local governments, they lack the political capital to swing the people against a governor who is widely acknowledged locally and internationally to have positively transformed Osun state. The case of those defectors is made worse as Osun political grassroots see them as political ingrates and opportunists”, the Accord submitted.
The party tasked Osun people to strengthen their determination to re-elect the governor through ongoing grassroots mobilisation, expressing happiness that fifth columnists who never have interest in good governance have left the winning platform.
