Former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo state, Chief Olusola Oke has dumped the party to join Alliance for Democracy, AD.
SUNSHINE HERALD learnt he has also been given the go-ahead to contest as the party’s governorship candidate in the November 26 poll.

The party has written to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to replace Dr. Akin Olowokere with Oke as its candidate.
INEC had on Thursday published Akin Olowokere as the governorship candidate of the AD.

Speaking to SUNSHINE HERALD, the state chairman of AD, Elder Adebobola Seriki said: “Yes, Chief Olusola Oke is now a member of our party, just believe that. AD is winning the next governorship election in this state”
With the development, Oke will face the former Commissioner for Justice in the state, Eyitayo Jegede of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu Ajimobi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 25 others.

When contacted, a member of the Oke Campaign Organization who does not want his name in print said his principal joining AD was not motivated by selfish interest to contest as governor in the state but by the wish to serve and listen to the decision of his supporters to seek alternative platform to contest.

Bunch of thieves...they are not contesting cos of the masses but bcoz of their pockets.

idolda:
Kai must they waste this guy's money? He is just too desperate and with this kind of attitude even a counselor seat he won't win

amaechi1:


True talk. From the background you will know he has failed. Tomorrow he might return to PDP. Bunch of thieves.

madridguy:
Jagaban really mean business in Ondo State. Let see what the likes of Oyegun led caucus will map out again. Jagaban is father in politics, take it or leave it.

Long life Jagaban.

Long life APC/AD

Long life Nigeria.

Things fall apart. I'm in support of anything by any means to destroy APC. This party led by Buhari has brought untold hardship on people of Nigeria.

I'm not in support of demonic party called PDP. PDP is the architect of pain and anguish many people are currently going through.

Buhari came in to do something urgently to arrest the situation but as it turns out, he never made any plan despite contesting in the last 12 years. The man is not educated enough to understand how economy works.

Jagaban ..going from federal to regional..dumb move.
AD winning ondo..with APC/ pdp..in the race is a dream..he only succeeded in dividing APC.and making more enemy..
What happens If AD should loose?


Me don't think jagaban is behind this move..is oke..and it's personal..maybe tryin to position himself for 2019..

madridguy:
That is politics for you. Politics is a game of interest. If you could recall the politics the likes of Tinubu played then to see Tambuwal became the speaker then you will understand my point better.

Oke would win ondo polls marginally just like I predicted apc to win in edo state.oke would win the 6 lgas in ondo south by aa landslide.in ondo central,jegede would win 4 or 5.he would only have a landslide in akure south and mimiko's lga.oke or aketi would win 1 lga.in ondo north,boroffice and abraham would deliver the 4 lgas of akoko land to oke.he would win 2 or 3 by a landslide.in. The remaining two lgas which is ose and owo,aketi would win.

Yea..
But times have changed..what is he sacrificing now..and to what purpose..
Tambuwal was gained to control the house..he became a thick bone on pdp's throat.they managed him.

Oke is influential in ondo and has lots of support in the state..but not when the presidency or incumbent (the ruling party n opposition party) are not on his side.
This is nigeria state election..don't forget..
