Abiodun Olasupo
Hon. Abiodun Olasupo (ADC-Oyo) has said the lack of internal democracy forced members of the Unity Forum of the APC to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He made this known while speaking in Iwere-Ile in Iwajowa Local Government Area of Oyo State at a town hall meeting with constituents.
Olasupo said: “Democracy is about tyranny of the majority. There won’t be a strong political party when the interest of minority overrides that of the majority.
“As long as there is no strong political party, there won’t be a stable government and without a stable government, there won’t be the much-desired development.
“When the tenets of a political party do not give power to the people to elect who leads them, then free exit is guaranteed.
“People will have to move to another party where they are warmly welcomed and where internal democracy is much sacrosanct.
“We defected to ADC where we found an abode. This is an abode where party supremacy and internal democracy is highly valued.
“In this party, the tyranny of majority works and the minority have their say.”
