IFE NORTH PDP WILL NOT JOIN A SINKING SHIP: HON. WOLE OKE GOOFED. - Ife North PDP. Ipetumodu, May 5, 2025. It has seemingly become a pastime for Hon. Wole Oke to amuse his followers with comic relief, especially after presiding over a failing political congress. However, his recent claim that members of the PDP in Ife North will defect to join him is not only false but also deliberately misleading. We wish to make it unequivocally clear that all leaders and members of the PDP in Ife North remain steadfast in their commitment to the re-election of His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke and in support of his administration and appointees.

Ife North PDP members and leaders are united, focused, and loyal to the leadership and vision of Governor Adeleke. For clarity, Hon Wole Oke should be bold enough to mention his avowed supporters and members in Adeleke government who hav...
