Mimiko’s aide, others dump PDP for APC in Irele

 

SPECIAL Assistant to Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko on Political Mobilisation Mosunmola Awotula, popularly called iron lady, has led hundred of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Irele Local Government Area.

Among the defectors were Ayaki of Ireleland Chief Olorunda Ikuemelo, PDP Vice Chairman in Ward Four Dayo Olajide, Comrade Ademuwagun Fakomogbo, Comrade Soji Olowotimehin and Madam Aderotoye Abike.

Others included Akinbamiro Ojuetimi, Olayinka Moyo and Comrade Adebayo Adegoroye.

They were received into the APC by the party’s deputy state chairman, Ade Adetimehin, an engineer.

Speaking on behalf of others, Mrs. Awotula said the PDP “is a party of broken promises, which has inflicted pains on the people”.

She said Mimiko has played his last card and could no longer deceive and cajole the people into voting for the PDP.

“We are the strong leaders of the PDP in Irele. I have been a woman leader in Ward 2. After that, I became Organising Secretary before Mimiko came to PDP.

“When Mimiko defect to PDP, he rendered us the executive members useless and refused to carry us along in the scheme of things; that shows that Mimiko is a selfish leader, ” she said.

Explaining why they left PDP, one of the leaders, Ikuemelo, described the PDP as “a dilapidated building”, saying they left the party before it collapses on them.

He said the PDP would soon become a dead party with no strength within the sunshine state.

He assured that the APC would be victorious in the November 26 governorship election.

Adetimehin assured the defectors of equal treatment.

He enjoined them to preach the gospel of APC and mobilise others into the party.
