Member of Osun State House of Assembly representing Ede South State Constituency, Hon. Taofeek Olayiwola-Nagode, has dismissed as false the allegation that 15 lawmakers were planning to defect from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and also embark on a training trip to the United States.
The allegation was raised by Hon. Oluwole Oke, but Olayiwola described it as baseless and an attempt to cause disunity among members of the ruling party in the state.
“These claims are baseless and deliberately crafted to sow discord,” he said in a statement.
“I challenge Hon. Oke to publish the names he refers to. Let’s deal with facts, not unfounded drama.”
Olayiwola denied the existence of any training abroad or coordinated plan to leave the PDP, insisting that he and his colleagues remained committed to the party’s ideals.
Reaffirming his loyalty to Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration, the lawmaker maintained that his priority was to continue delivering good governance to his constituents.
He further urged Hon. Oke to substantiate his claims by identifying the lawmakers allegedly involved, stressing the need for transparency in public discourse.
“We are building something special in Osun, and no amount of political noise will derail our momentum,” he added.
Olayiwola assured the people of Ede South that his focus remained on transparency, accountability, and equitable development, while urging PDP supporters and the general public to disregard what he called baseless propaganda.
