The Nation Newspaper Why I'm defecting to APC-ex-Osun PDP guber aspirant Babayemi
Prince Dotun Babayemi was a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State. He narrowly lost the party governorship ticket to Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2022. The aftermath led to a crisis within the party, and in 2024, he announced his resolve to join the APC. In this interview with
There are rumours that members of the Board of Trustees of PDP are backing you against Governor Adeleke: How true is this? Again, how can empowerment set the people against the government? When has that become an offence? Can any government do it all? Recently, you will recall that the elder sister of the governor, Sister Dupe, did her empowerment. With it, did she in any way, cause the people to revolt against the administration of her brother? Many lawmakers at the federal and state levels have been carrying out different empowerment programmes without hues and cries.
You know that I am a man of the people and you can see that the ‘Atunto Osun’ rally was a testament to that considering the mammoth crowd of over 20,000 people in attendance across the state.Yes! As of today, the camp of Adeleke is in disarray. They are begging and moving about with money for us not to cross over to APC but it’s already a late call. When they had the opportunity, they were abusing us all over the place.
They wondered why the people who derided and denigrated Adagunodo even at death could turn around to claim they were remembering him on the first anniversary of his demise. This contradicts logic and it’s a joke that must stop forthwith. Do you think PDP has learnt its lessons from the failure of the 2023 election with the current wrangling within the party?
