Olusola Oke, a former Legal Adviser to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has vowed never to returned to the party after his defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State.
Mr. Oke, disclosed this through an on-the-spot interview with SaharaReporters in Akure, the Ondo State capital, shortly after attending a private programme. He dismissed the insinuations from some quarters regarding his purported return to the umbrella party as figments of the imagination.
He explained he made a decisive decision never to return to the PDP after he fell out with members of the Party and decamped to the APC due to the dominating leadership style of embattled Governor Olusegun Mimiko.
"I told some journalists last week that I made my decision and I will never return to the PDP.
"You would agree with me that a flowing river doesn't flow backward, which is why I too would never look back or return to the PDP because there is nothing there that could attract me any longer,” Mr. Oke explained.
Mr. Oke, a one-time governorship candidate in Ondo State, described the PDP as a "sinking boat" whose members are stranded and blind.
He described the umbrella party as "dead and satanic", and argued that it would be very difficult to wrest control of the party from the current leadership of warlords who looted the national treasury until virtually nothing was left.
"I have repeatedly told my supporters that PDP is dead and it would be difficult to revive since it is satanic because of its deceptive nature,” the former Legal Adviser exclaimed.
Mr. Oke, who is now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State affirmed that he would never be distracted by any rumors and cooked lies peddled against him as the governorship election approaches.
Meanwhile, he refused to answer questions from our correspondent if he has ambitions to occupy the Alagbaka Government House in next year’s governorship polls.
