PDP Stakeholders Meet In Osun To Reposition Party

Stakeholders including the former national secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former Southwest chairman, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladiipo and former Osun State chairman, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, have met to chart a new course for the party in Osun State.

Members of the party drawn from across the state who witnessed the meeting were informed about the moves being made nationwide by the founding fathers of the party to bring back the lost glory of the party.

The former governor of Osun State, Prince Oyinlola, who attributed the crisis that bedeviled the party in the state to a spillover of the problems that confronted the party at the national level however disclosed that the PDP has been restructured in Osun.

He debunked the insinuation that the PDP has dissolved into the Accord Party in the state saying that it formed the narrations they came to correct at the meeting.

Oyinlola expressed surprise at the mass exodus of PDP members to the Accord Party saying that what Governor Adeleke said when it became imperative for him to find a party for his second term bid was that he and his deputy will defect while others stayed back.

“What he told us was that the deputy and himself will go to Accord and the rest of us will remain. PDP is a party that has its tentacle in all the nooks and crannies of this country. It is not in our own time that we’ll allow it to die,” he said.

The Osun caretaker chairman of the party, Hon Tunde Tijani, said that he remained the only chairman of the party in Osun adding that the former chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi, though at the Ibadan convention, has moved out of the party.
