The Osun Progressives (TOP) has berated the embattled Dotun Babayemi, for dragging the loyalist of Rauf Aregbesola into his problem which  led to his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

 Babayemi was said to have, in the figment of his imagination, claimed that we (TOP) are in alliance with PDP and indeed the Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

“The rattled PDP governorship aspirant, Dotun Babayemi made some more odious allegations against us and our Patron, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola which we consider a way to justify the political master stroke expulsion he was served by his party.

According to the statement by Osun progressives Chairman, Revend Lowo Adebiyi  Babayemi should focus on his expulsion and not dragging Osun progressive into his issues with his party PDP.

Babayemi joined the PDP late 2018 from ADP which he joined less than a year earlier from the APC.

Babayemi may be a “wanna be” politician, an opportunist kind of who wanted the highest office at his first political attempt in his new party. But he is not foolish not to know that his expulsion may have brought an abrupt end to his political career which have not even started.

“By available records, Babayemi breezed into APC in 2016 to start politics and went with the ambition to become a Senator which is not often given to new player like him in the Progressive movement and thereafter to ADP where he was dashed the senatorial ticket since there was no many highly placed politicians.

“May we at The Osun Progressives note that only a political neophyte will not know why Babayemi chose to play the spoiler’s role in PDP till he was kicked out, so he might not wreck the ship which has taken them 12 years to build.

“While we are focused on the redemption of our party, APC, which has been on consistent degeneration and we were meted with the worst forms of inhuman treatments by his selfish types in APC who have had vice grip of the soul of our party in the last few years, yet, we remain committed to our party’s ideals.

TOP leaders and members are not selfish lucre influenced politicians. We are strong willed, focused, patriotic and true to the reorganisation of APC which contradicts the lie in Babayemi’s submissions.

We challenge him to come up with evidences to proof his spurious allegations that we are working with PDP at the detriment of his selfish request. He will save his doubtful integrity if he is able to name one candidate of PDP who belongs to our tendency – TOP. He should tell the world the day, time and venue where TOP held meeting or meetings with PDP, either that he attended or have representative.
