Hon. Olemija, also a former 3-term Chairman of Akoko North East Local Government said his defection back to the PDP was an home coming.

He said “I thank the leaders of the party, PDP for the warm reception. For three months, they came asking me to join them. I acceded because my former party lacks adequate coordination”.

He therefore acknowledged that his defection wouldn’t have been possible, but for the persistence of Akogun Adetokunbo Modupe for over three months asking him to come back to the party.

In his speech, Akogun Adetokunbo Modupe thanked Hon Stephen Olemija for rejoining the party with his followers in the local government.
