……Led by Influence of Aiyedatiwa’s SSA, Olaolu Kelvin Solomon
In a major setback for the Ondo PDP, Omotere Benson a respected political strategist and former Senior Adviser on Political Matters to ex-Governor Segun Mimiko has defected to the APC. His decision to join the APC was inspired by the visionary leadership of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa and, significantly, the grassroots influence of his Senior Special Assistant, Olaolu Kelvin Solomon. Adding to the impact, Hon. Kevin Solomon also facilitated the defection of an additional 50 PDP members, all following Benson’s lead in pledging allegiance to the APC.
This wave of defections, spearheaded by Benson and supported by over a fifty committed members, is a substantial blow to the PDP’s presence in Ward 1, Afo, Ose Local Government. Benson’s reputation as a unifying force and advocate for community-driven change has long made him a trusted figure. His switch to the APC alongside other members signals a growing alignment with the party’s progressive goals for Ondo State.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s dedication to impactful governance, backed by Olaolu Solomon’s tireless engagement with our communities, has shown that APC is committed to real progress,” Benson stated. “I am honored to join this mission and bring renewed energy to our shared goals for Ose and beyond.”
Olaolu Kelvin Solomon’s role in facilitating the defections has only reinforced his reputation as a people-centered leader and a key figure in Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration. Hon. Kevin Solomon has been active in engaging local communities, earning trust through his hands-on approach and programs tailored to Ondo’s unique needs. His influence played a crucial part in not only Benson’s decision but also in encouraging others to join the APC which is a powerful endorsement of the party’s vision.
This coordinated defection underscores the APC’s growing appeal across Ondo’s political landscape, uniting leaders and citizens alike under a mission of empowerment, accountability, and sustainable development. The wave of support led by Omotere Benson and Olaolu Kevin Solomon strengthens the APC’s coalition, emphasizing its commitment to transforming Ondo through people driven leadership and development.
