“It is only when you contest election as an independent candidate and win and then decide to move to any political party of your choice that you become the owner of the votes cast by the electorate. Unfortunately, Olaniyan wants to eat his cake and still have it”.

“The Oyo PDP, which is the rightful owner of the mandate, will retrieve it in no distant time using every available legal means if Olaniyan fails to humbly resign as a gentleman with his new move”.

“Our position is simple and very clear on this matter, and as a matter of legal implication, the votes in any election in Nigeria are for political parties, and not candidates.”
