Defection: You See Politics As Personal Enterprise Rather Than Service To People – Osun PDP Blasts Oke
- Says Lawmaker Interested In Being Spoon-Fed Than Earning Place Through Rules
The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lampooned the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Wole Oke, over his defection from the party.
The ruling party in the state said it is neither surprised nor disappointed by Oke’s defection, noting that the lawmaker sees politics as a personal enterprise rather than a wheel of service to the people.
Osun PDP, in a statement by its Chairman, Sunday Bisi, described the lawmaker as a pampered political stakeholder, more interested in being spoon-fed than earning his place through rules of healthy competition.
The statement added that, “Wole Oke’s decision, though unfortunate, is entirely in line with his history of erratic political behaviour and unstable loyalties.

“It is public knowledge that for over two decades, Hon Oke enjoyed consistent goodwill of the PDP, securing multiple terms in the National Assembly under the party’s banner. Yet, rather than engage in transparent and competitive internal processes, he habitually resorted to wild goose chase, abusing privileges confered on him by the party and the good people of Obokun/Oriade, always fighting the winds in his characteristic scheming to further his personal ambitions.
“Hon Oke has long conducted himself like a pampered political stakeholder, more interested in being spoon-fed than earning his place through rules of healthy competition.
“His trademark has always been orchestrated discontents and divisive tactics, never genuine in party commitment.”
The statement further said the PDP leadership in the state “has remained well ahead of his shenanigans, fully aware of his pattern of self-serving pontifications. His latest move only affirms what has always been evident – that he sees politics as a personal enterprise rather than a wheel of service to the people.
“As the days unfold, it will become even clearer to the world that politics is and must remain a game of the people, not a playground for selfish adventurism.”
