The crisis plaguing the People’s Democratic Party in Ido local government shows no signs of abating as fourteen key stakeholders, including Dr. Semiu Opeyemi Folarin, have defected to the Remi Oseni Committee of Friends, (ROCOF) a group established by Hon. Remi Oseni, who represents Ido-Ibarapa East Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Dr. Folarin’s defection, along with 14 other grassroots politicians, has underscored the PDP Ido local leadership’s nonchalant attitude, particularly evident in the actions of Party State Auditor Alhaji Ayuba,Party Chairman Ido, and Chairman Ido Local Government Sheriff Adeojo.
Reacting to a suspension letter issued by the Ido PDP some unscrupulous elements have cracked the party beyond repairs due to recalcitrant behavior of leaders in the party.
According to Folarin, the purported suspension letter will facilitate a massive defection of more PDP members to the All Progressives Congress in Ido local government.
Folarin declared that the allegations cited by PDP Ido leadership are baseless and aimed at deflecting blame for their own misdeeds, which contributed to the PDP’s downfall in the 2023 national Assembly elections.
” The actions of Ido local government Chairman Sheriff Adeojo, State Auditor PDP Alhaji Ayuba, and Ido local government PDP Chairman Hon. Emma will culminate in the downfall of the PDP. Governor Seyi Makinde’s faith in the Ido PDP executives will be a costly mistake”Folarin said
Recall that barely one week that the former Chairman Oyo state advisory council Senator Hosea Ayoola Agboola tendered his resignation letter may probably prompt many grassroot politicians to follow the suit.
Dr. Semiu Folarin took the opportunity to wish the people of Ido local government and Oyo state in general a happy new month and a smooth November.
