former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the
South-West, Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun to stop calling him brother, saying
there was no iota of truth in the claim.
He went on to suggest that Oyedokun was one of the men who assaulted
him when he was removed as the PDP National Secretary.Oyinlola's
statement was made available to Saturday PUNCH on Friday and he urged
Oyedokun to stop using his spoiling his name whenever he discussed him
in the media.
The former PDP leader had accused him of "polluting the drinking
water" of the PDP in Osun State and Oyinlola is disturbed that all his
brotherly gestures to Oyedokun were never reciprocated with
goodness.He said,"I read Oyedokun's interview where he described
himself as my brother who laid down all he had for me to achieve all I
achieved in politics. I need to explain his kind of brother. Since my
joining politics in December 2001, every challenge and opposition to
whatever aspiration I had throughout my stay in the PDP had the
fingerprints of this my elder brother."It is on record that my
emergence as governor in 2003 was with strong opposition from him,
using his powers then as the Deputy National Chairman of the party.
Again, in the run-up to my second term bid in 2007, he defected to the
then Action Congress (now All Progressives Congress). More than a year
after I brought him back into the PDP, my brotherly gestures never
received reciprocal goodness from him."
Ọlagunsoye Oyinlọla was born on February 3, 1951 and became governor
of Osun State in Nigeria in May 2003, and was reelected in 2007.
