Leader of defectors and women leader of the PDP in the local government, Ibidun Balogun  said ” many of us sold our goods and farm produce particularly to support this government of PDP but at the end of the day, it was neglect, backstabbing and victimisation while they also levied us with heavy taxes and unfavourable policy.

 “As of today, there are no meaningful developmental projects in Ode Irele and our people have been left in their own fate particularly on the total electricity blackout going to two years in the community and the southern part of the state”.
