A House of
Representatives member, Hon. Oyetunde 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 THISDAY, 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.”
But it will not work and all their campaigns of calumny have failed.”
