By Tosin Olatokunbo

Decamped Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain AbdulRasheed Adebisi also known as Olopoeyan has accused Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State of turning PDP leaders to beggars after helping him to become the chief executive officer of the state.

Few months ago, the former PDP chieftain had accused the governor of reneging on his promise to assist his children to secure plum job in the state when he becomes govrnor.

Olopoeyan who recently defected to the All Nigerian Peoples Party, ANPP described the governor, a former ally as an ingrate who does not wish his followers well.

The ANPP chieftain who spoke at the event to welcome him to his new party regretted supporting Makinde to secure the govrnorship in 2015.

He said many supporters of the governor will still abandon the party.

According to him, “A lot of people are still going to join us from APC and PDP. The present governor is an ingrate, that is why God destroyed PDP during his time. The governor said he doesn’t want a godfather, but he has turned himself to a godfather.

” I have not seen it before where a governor will pick nomination forms himself and start distributing same to people. He has turned his followers to beggars.

“That’s why we are here and the people that own this party, they have money and power. If anybody fight us, we will fight back because we have a government of touts at the moment. We have left the party of poverty. PDP is on the verge of collapsing and if we don’t leave on time, it may collapse on us all, God forbid. God will fight for us and we will come out victorious.

“In 2015, there was no PDP in Oyo State, I started the party from the scratch, and we used it to make Seyi (Makinde) the governor. By the grace of God, we will use this new party to contest the election and emerge victorious at the governorship poll. We will also emerge victorious at the Senate and House of Representatives election by the grace of God.

“It is God that do things, this is our time, their own end has come. Put your mind at rest, we will emerge victorious by the grace of God,” Olopoeyan said.
