A House of Representatives member, Hon. Oyetunde Oladimeji-Ojo, has refuted claims credited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he was installed in the chambers by the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to a press statement made available to us, the allegation which was credited to the PDP acting National Publicity Secretary, Tony Caesar Okeke, said Ojo, representing Ijero/Efon Ekiti West “was installed as a legislator by his father in-law, Tinubu.”
Reacting through his media aide, Ojo stated that as a bonafide citizen of Nigeria and an indigene of Ekiti State, he possesses the rights to vote and be voted for, and had therefore only exercised these rights at the last election in which he came out victorious.
Justifying his being in the National Assembly, Ojo said, “I wonder where the PDP was when I was shuttling between Lagos and Ekiti twice a day and when I was travelling round the nooks and crannies of Ekiti day and night prior to the election that ushered ACN into power.”
Ojo who is the Chairman of the House Committee on Communications, also stated that the PDP’s “Obvious lack of vision” at the national and state level was why the party “Has left what should be done undone to go on a wild goose chase and become a meddlesome interloper in what does not concern it.”
Referring to the PDP as a party of failures, Ojo said: “I am sure it is clear to them that it’s too late to retrace their steps, which is why they want to hold to anything so that they could sink with others.
But it will not work and all their campaigns of calumny have failed.”
