Excitment as more dump PDP for ACN in Oyo

Obviously, the people of Oyo State are now breathing a sigh of relief after the tortuous years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government that was totalitarian and tyrannical.

After a clean-up effort by transitional rulers, well meaning individuals and groups, who paid dearly the price for democratic straggle, the prized civil and good governance is returning to the state.
Recently, about 4,000 former members of both the PDP and the Accord Party (AP) in the Oyo East Local Government called the bluff of their leaders and defected to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
They took a bold step by freeing themselves from the dead-end of their political past and denounced their former leaders for lack of focus.
They affirmed the fact that legitimacy comes from the people and what is legitimate is determined by the extent to which the people themselves in their various communities and constituencies are involved in shaping and approving decision or programmes of government.
Prominent among their grievances were the deceptive mechanism adopted by former leaders supported by their godfathers to under develop and cheat the people.
They pointed out that they decided to join the ACN, after exhaustive and rigorous deliberations because the party is not only cultured in tolerance but allows for participatory and transparent democracy.
The elated defectors in joyous mood, dressed in colourful attire remarked that since the qualities of good leaders include intelligence, impartiality the current leadership was very on course. This has been demonstrated by the incumbent caretaker chairman, Oyo East Local Government, Hon. Muthar Adegboye Adekunle where the defectors joined the progressives.
ACN leaders are known to be men with infinite courage, self-control, sense of justice, good at planning and decision-making as well as possess pleasing personalities.
State chairman of the party, Chief Akin Oke and House of Assembly Speaker Alhaja Monsurat Sunmonu, were among party chieftains who graced the occasion held at the open field of Apaara Methodist Primary School.
The defectors appealed to the ACN leadership to grant the council caretaker chairman ticket in order to contest the forthcoming local government election in the state.
This is because Hon. Adekunle is among the few who is not overwhelmed by the lust of office or other economic gains leaving the masses to suffer. He does not take to cheap flattery but always focus in the discharge of his duty.
