The attention of Senator Solomon Adeola aka Yayi, a bona fide APC Senator, has been drawn to some misleading reports that his supporters in Ogun state has been directed to or joined ADC following the decision of a few admirers from a faction of a political party on their own join ADC.
It is true that the few people from Ogun Central that decided to move to ADC were part of the teeming admirers of Yayi and his aspiration. However it is also a fact that their efforts to join APC in furtherance of their support for Yayi were frustrated over time and conclusively during the congresses of APC.
Adeola Yayi has not openly or covertly directed any of his supporters found in SDP, LP and other political parties operational in Ogun State to move to any other political party as he remains firmly rooted in APC and the progressives of the South west, a root that span his entire political life of over 20 years under credible progressives leaders. He is on record to say that he will rather resign from politics than leave the progressives folds that is presently domicile in APC.
It is therefore preposterous and misinformation for anyone to alleged that he directed his supporters to join a conservative party like ADC while he remains in APC. The truth of the matter is that all his supporters in APC from Ogun Central like Rt.Hon. Tunji Egbetokun, former Speaker of OGHA, Hon.Kunle Adeshina, former APC Ogun Central Senatorial chairman and Hon. O. Jolaoso, a sitting APC state legislator representing Ewekoro among others with their supporters are still in APC while some from SDP are already in APC on their own volition.
The few fringe admirers of Yayi that switched party recently were those that had earlier left a faction of PDP in the state and seek party affiliation having been frustrated in their efforts to join APC.
Senator Adeola remains in APC and encourage all his supporters to remain steadfast in APC and in their support and prayers for him adding that efforts are ongoing in trying to resolve any differences or grievances within the party while his consultations continues.
