Osogbo, Osun State – April 23, 2025 osunpdp.com
The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated emphatically that the ruling party in the state is neither surprised nor disappointed by the defection of Hon Wole Oke, member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His decision, though unfortunate, is entirely in line with his history of erratic political behaviour and unstable loyalties.
It is public knowledge that for over two decades, Hon Oke enjoyed consistent goodwill of the PDP, securing multiple terms in the National Assembly under the party’s banner. Yet, rather than engage in transparent and competitive internal processes, he habitually resorted to wild goose chase, abusing privileges confered on him by the party and the good people of Obokun/Oriade, always fighting the winds in his characteristic scheming to further his personal ambitions.
“Hon Oke has long conducted himself like a pampered political stakeholder, more interested in being spoon-fed than earning his place through rules of healthy competition” the statement reads. “His trademark has always been orchestrated discontents and divisive tactics, never genuine in party commitment.”
The PDP leadership has remained well ahead of his shenanigans, fully aware of his pattern of self-serving pontifications. His latest move only affirms what has always been evident – that he sees politics as a personal enterprise rather than a wheel of service to the people.
As the days unfold, it will become even clearer to the world that politics is and must remain a game of the people, not a playground for selfish adventurism. The PDP stands firm in its values of loyalty, transparency, and service and calls on all members and lovers of the party in Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in particular, to stay focused and united in pursuit of meaningful progress being channelled by the PDP administration of His Excellency, Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.

Hon. Sunday Bisi,
Osun State PDP Chairman
