President of the Peoples Democratic Party, Oyo chapter, on Monday rejected the speech of the national leader of the All Progressive Congress Bola Tinubu, while on Saturday he welcomed former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala and other defectors. rejected the part for people from the state of Oyo.

Tinubu said that dismissing Alao-Akala, Teslim Folarin, and others from PDP to APC was a sign that APC became the only party in the state and that the opposition was finally buried.

But state secretary of state Akeem Olatunji said in a statement that the entire event and Tinubu's statement released his fear that the PDP would have a house set up.

Olatunji said, 

“Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to a national leader of the APC, Tinubu, at a function held to welcome defectors who have joined the APC, wherein he expressed his fears indirectly over the continuous rise and dominance of the PDP in Oyo State politics and Nigeria at large.
“It is absurd that 90 per cent of the so-called defectors have ceased to be PDP members more than two years ago while the remaining 10 per cent are politicians who make their living through politics and hence the need to be in the ruling party at all times because they lack ideologies and principles.
“The PDP in Oyo State actually pities Tinubu for the unenviable job of selling a rejected Oyo APC to the electorate whereas the party hierarchy including the national chairman knows that the Oyo APC is moribund. The Saturday’s official declaration was just a charade to celebrate the birthday of Governor Abiola Ajimobi in an elaborate and wasteful manner.”

The statement noted that the absence of key party figures like the APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, and the Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, showed that the event was a failure.

“It is on record that the only minister from the state, Shittu; senators Monsurat Sunmonu, and Fatai Buhari, Dapo Lam-Adesina and many other political office holders on the platform of the APC boycotted the events to the surprise of Tinubu and Governor Ajimobi; a failed attempt to give a false hope that the APC is still alive in the state when all the indices show that the APC is virtually dead and the undertakers were admitted with funfair last Saturday.”
