The member of the House of Representatives, representing Oluyole federal constituency, Hon Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, has debunked claims in some quarters that she is set to decamp to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ahead of the 2023 general elections describing the rumour as “lie from the pit of hell.”
Akande-Sadipe made the clarification while reacting to a viral social media post, wherein a member of the PDP, (names withheld), posted her picture with the caption: “Congratulations to Oyo PDP as Hon. Tolu Sadipe, the lawmaker representing Oluyole federal constituency at the House of Representatives is soon to land in our party. Full details later.”
In a press release, signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Hon Akande-Sadipe, Olamilekan Olusada, and made available to journalists in Ibadan, on Tuesday, Hon Akande-Sadipe said that the purported claim is false.
She said, “I appreciate the support and concern of my people. Such claim is very laughable. The mud-slinging has started. Cheap media trick. I am sure nobody is falling for this. I am the All Progressives Congress, APC, representative from Oluyole in the House of Representatives, and as my people wish, two terms in a row. I am committed to the development of Oluyole. Please tell those looking in from outside, to do better than this; let’s contest on real issues and performance, not falsehood.
“I take this opportunity to thank the people of Oluyole, for choosing me to serve and I reiterate my commitment to continue to serve Oluyole diligently as I have always done. God bless us all.”
