The Senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly, and the Senatorial Candidate of the APC during the 2019 General election, Pastor Yele Omogunwa together with the Ondo South Senatorial Candidate of the AA during the 2019 general election, Dr Olatunji Felder on Thursday officially attended the Stakeholders’ meeting of the People’s Democratic Party PDP in Akure, the Ondo State Capital.
While introducing them to the highly elated leaders at the State Secretariat of the party in Akure, the State Chairman of the party, Hon. Fatai Adams told leaders that the coming back of the distinguished senator was the handiwork of God and a sign of victory for the party. Adams also said Dr Olatunji Feda since his majestic return to the party, has proved his worth and left no one in doubt, as to his determination to strengthen the party in all ways. The State Chairman therefore enjoined leaders and members of the party to give them their due recognition as full members of the party.
Senator Omogunwa while addressing the leaders of the party at the meeting, said what he did was to simply retrace his step to his source.
“Nobody actually pressurized me to come back to the party. I only realized that I had gone on a wrong voyage and needed to retrace my steps. I took a defective flight that landed me in the wilderness but I have taken a better flight now and I have arrived safely to the party.”
“I need to let you know that I have not come to pursue any personal ambition here. I have only come back to my source. I thank leaders who have been holding the party together. No doubt, PDP is faring good and great but we also intend to make it fare better and greater.”
“Although I am not a prophet, I am a pastor. I see hope in the PDP’s struggle and I don’t doubt the victory of the party at the Supreme Court. I am here to add value to the party and I brought some of my coordinators here. We have started the work, there is no going back” The senator declared.
In the same vein, Dr Olatunji Feda who also contested with Senator Yele Omogunwa for the Southern Senatorial seat during the 2019 general election under the platform of AA, said his decision to join PDP was borne out of concern for the good of the people. Olatunji Feda said PDP has always been touching lives of the people with far-reaching, innovative programmes and would love to be in a party that makes the interest of the people, its top priority.
Leaders of the party had earlier described Sen. Yele Omogunwa as an offspring of the men of Issachar who knew the time and the season to operate, describing his presence in the party as a confirmation of success for PDP in the months ahead. They therefore warn his critics to exercise caution in attacking such unusual personality who is only being directed from above on when to halt and when to move. Party leaders specially welcomed the duo back to the party and assured them of their support at all times.
