The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ogbomoso South Local Government chapter has replied the Majority Leader, Oyo State House of Assembly, Sanjo Adedoyin on reasons why constituents and members of the party denied him entry into the party meeting venue on Tuesday.
In a press statement signed and made available to newsmen by the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ogbomoso South, Femi Adeniyi, the party said the reason why the lawmaker was denied access to the meeting venue was because he completely abandoned the people that sent him to Ibadan.
Adeniyi said, “For more than three years, he went missing, only for him to show up this weekend to say he wants to attend the party local government meeting for the first time since he was elected.
“The people said they knew his intentions because the primaries is three months ahead, he wanted to cajole them again, and that was why those he abandoned turned against him and showed their anger.”
“Also, recalling past events, he came exactly a year he attacked members of the party by sponsoring touts who shot six members of the party during the March 8 Chairmanship Primary.
“As a political party we’ve tried all possible means to curb him from engaging in anti party activities in the past but he turned deaf hears, so he should not drag the name of our respected leader, Otunba Segun Oguwuyi into the mud. As someone whom the people laboured for day and night before he emerged in 2019, let him show the world his achievements in the last three years.
“On his alleged support for our Governor, which he said he staged the meeting to demonstrate his support for Governor Seyi Makinde, you don’t support the government or governor by rolling out drums, you work for the governor and party if truly you are supporting him. let him show the world what he has done to support the governor, someone who abstained himself from all declarations made by leaders and members of the party in Ogbomoso South and Zone as a whole to ensure His Excellency’s return in 2023.
“Ogbomoso South has seen the light; gone were the days when you turn what is meant for the people to yourself. So if someone who did not perform reaped his consequences, what’s the fault of our leader, Otunba Oguwuyi.
“There have been others before him, who has set the standard but he thought he can buy the masses with money.
“Sanjo Adedoyin has failed and he has been rejected. He came pleading to members of the local executives but we told him he did not offend us, he should find a means to present his plea to those he shot at last year. If he knew he did the right thing why was he begging us to allow him attend the party meeting. left to us, he has ceased to be a member of the party, because he has never attended the party meeting both at the local government and ward level, and the constitution of the party says for you to be a member of the party you must attend the party meetings and pay your financial dues.
“It should be on note that he is not the first person who will switch side from the aggrieved camp or other political parties, but the people vented their anger on him because of his actions.
“However the party is sounding him and his cohorts warning to never drag into mud the name of our respected party leaders as such actions can push the party to take legal actions against him.
