The campaign train of the State leadership of the People’s Democratic Party today berthed at Ogbomoso zone with Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency being the first port of call to the State Executive Committee flagging off the campaign for the forthcoming local government election in April 27 and presentation of flags to the two chairmanship candidates and their vice chairmanship candidates in Ogo-Oluwa Local Government and Surulere Local Government respectively.

The campaign which took place at Ajaawa in Ogo-Oluwa Local witnessed large turnout of party members and stakeholders also saw the defection of an APC chieftain; former chairman of Surulere Local Government, former Federal House of Representatives candidate under the Labour Party in 2015, Hon. Israel Akinwunmi Ogundiran popularly known as Master led multitude of defectors from opposition APC back to the PDP fold.

He further implored them to replicate same during the April 27th local government election.

Hon. Israel Ogundiran while speaking, said the APC is a party that is full of deceit and lack of empathy for the people. He said with the hardships being brought down on the people by the APC led federal government has clearly shown that no well meaning person would want to be identified with such party.

It was with pomp and pageantry the State Executive Committee was received with at the venue of the campaign in Ogbomoso North, South and Oriire Federal Constituency at the Soun Ogunlola City hall where party members and stakeholders were already waiting.

Addressing the massive party members in their colorful attires with different placards, the secretary of the Party in the State Alhaji Wasiu Adeleke enjoined the people to troop out in their large numbers on April 27th to cast their votes for the candidates of the People’s Democratic Party in Ogbomoso North, South and Oriire Local Government Areas as they have done today at the campaign grounds.

However, he commended the people of Ogbomoso for coming out in their large numbers to support their candidates, he further enjoined them to return to their polling units to start massive mobilisation of support for all the PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.

Hon. Rasaq Gbadegesin, addressing the crowd implored party members and the people of Ogbomoso to vote for all the candidates in the April 27th as the Governor Makinde led Oyo State Government has shown clearly that the PDP is the party that has the interest of the people at heart.
