Hon. Nurudeen Temileyi Ojedokun, a loyalist to the newly appointed Oyo State’s Deputy Chief of Staff (Hon.Ademola Ojo) has said that Ojo was only on a lone journey to PDP, while many of his followers are in New Nigeria People’s Party(NNPP).
Ojedokun, who is also the NNPP Candidate for Ibarapa Central/North Federal Constituency, Oyo State disclosed this while fielding questions from journalists.
The NNPP candidate stressed that Ojo had left many of his followers in NNPP, while he went alone and singlehandedly to PDP.
While going in a memory lane, Ojedokun narrated that Ojo had shown membership with four political parties within the last three years, as his desperation for power now landed him in PDP.
He added that the new Deputy Chief of Staff became a member of APC in 2019, but while he observed that he could not secure the ticket for Ibarapa Central/North under progressive party, Ojo asked his followers to move NNPP, with the hope he would join them later.
Ojedokun lamented that, to their surprise, many of those followers and loyalists who had picked tent with NNPP suddenly learnt that Ojo had left for Accord party without their knowledge.
He stressed that they were disturbed by the desperate decision taken by Ojo, after he had instructed them to identify with NNPP but refused to toe same path of defection.
Ojedokun however said that his latest membership with PDP and consideration as the Deputy Chief of Staff had neither consultation nor meeting with any of his followers and core loyalists whom he ascribed himself as one.
He said, despite Ojo’s defection to PDP and consideration as the Deputy Chief of Staff, he and other followers of his are firmly in NNPP with resolute to maintain and sustain their membership with the party.
Ojedokun described the leader of the party, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoeniyan as someone who makes the operation of the party different from both APC and PDP.
He stressed that the party maintains openness and equally gives sense of belonging to every member of the party without infringement of membership’s rights and privileges.
