Osun Decides: OSUN 2014 : APC Chieftains, Others Dump APC For PDP In Osun A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, Olayiwola Talabi, has dumped the party for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He defected alongside hundreds of his supporters at Ikire on Wednesday, a development believed to be a setback for the ruling APC. The governorship election holds August 9. Mr. Talabi, a retired army colonel, while announcing his defection at a rally of the PDP governorship candidate, Iyiola Omisore, said he was leaving the APC because of its anti- people policies as well as the marginalisation of local leaders in favour of Lagos-based actors. He lamented the failure of the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola to positively touch the lives of the people. Mr. Talabi said that the governor could no longer explain to the people the many failures of the government to fulfil its promises to the people of the state. “I quit because I am fed up with servitude with failed promises with anti- people programmes with bad leadership. I am now convinced that Senator Iyiola Omisore is the right man to take the state out of the present mess and rebuild it from the destruction witnessed under the APC governorship,” Mr. Talabi said.
