In a political landscape riddled with compromise, Hon. Oluwole Oke has once again distinguished himself not just as a lawmaker, but as a man of principle. His recent defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) did not come as a surprise to those who have followed his journey. It was not a betrayal of ideology but a bold protest against a party that has lost its moral compass, especially in Osun State.
Oke’s departure is a statement, not a surrender. After years of tireless service within the PDP, and countless sacrifices in defence of democracy, it became clear that the party had drifted from its founding values. More glaring is the silence almost complicity of the Osun PDP Senate caucus, whose passivity in the face of injustice and internal decay has become impossible to ignore.
While their constituents cry out for representation and courage, these so called leaders choose silence. When decisions were being made that threatened the unity and electoral prospects of the party, they sat on their hands. When voices were needed to challenge impunity and advocate for internal reform, they chose self-preservation over service. Their failure to speak up is not just disappointing it is dangerous.
Oluwole Oke, however, chose a different path. He refused to be part of a system where loyalty to a failing structure outweighed loyalty to the people. His defection is an act of political courage a reminder that leadership sometimes means walking away from the familiar in order to uphold the fundamental values of justice, accountability, and progress.
While critics may attempt to frame his move as opportunism, the facts speak otherwise. Oke remains one of the most consistent, people-driven lawmakers Osun has produced. His track record of defending his constituency, holding government to account, and pushing meaningful legislation.
Osun PDP should take this defection not just as a loss but as a warning. The era of political spectatorship is over. The people are watching. And history will not be kind to those who chose silence when the moment demanded courage.

In Oluwole Oke, Osun has a rare figure: a leader who dares to speak and act, even when the cost is high. That, in itself, is the mark of a statesman not just a politician.
