The Southwest chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has been enmeshed in a fierce battle over the control of the leadership of the party in the zone ahead of its regional congress.
While the Olujimi camp was said to have been willing to accept political solution, which would allow for the sharing of positions in ratio 40 to 60, the Fayose camp was alleged to have disapproved the recommendation, preferring to take the party structure 100 per cent. They also alleged the Governor Makinde of prodding Chief Olabode George and Sen. Hosea Agboola to become the National and Southwest chairmen of the party respectively.
A party source that was privy to the details of the meeting, said discussion was centered on forthcoming southwest zonal congress as well as the alleged plot to hijack the leadership of the party in the region from Makinde. The NASS caucus said it took the decision in order to avert “unnecessary skirmishes in the forthcoming South West Congresses and also to correct some unorthodox egoistic moves by some state chapters that are trying to cause confusion in their state congresses recently.”
Odebunmi, who spoke on behalf of the stakeholders, said the party has resolved to give Makinde all the needed support towards bringing southwest PDP out of political Oblivion. She stated that party leaders in the zone would resist any attempt to rubbish him because of his uncompromising stance on truth against some elements bent on destroying the party from within.
