A political group in Osun state, the Osun PDP Youth Mandate has warned the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose against interfering and meddling in the affairs of Osun PDP.
The group, in a statement issued in Akure, the Ondo state capital and signed by the chairman and secretary Mr Oguntunmbi Adebowale and Alao Adeolu, said Fayose is unnecessarily interfering in the affairs of Osun PDP because of his relationship with the interim National Chairman of the PDP, Sen Ali Modu Sherrif.
According to the statement “it is a known fact that Fayose and, the National Chairman of PDP are friends and he (Fayose) has been ridding on that to cause crisis in Osun PDP citing the example of the Ward congress that was recently annulled by the National Chairman.”
The group accused Fayose of mounting pressure on the National Chairman to cancel the Ward congress, wondering what Fayose stands to gain from the cancellation. The release stressed that Osun PDP is one big Family and has been able to weather the storms that it has faced at different occasions, threatening that if Fayose does not keep away from sowing seeds of disunity in Osun PDP, he might not like the consequence of his action.
The group said the National Chairman of the PDP should maintain its stand as father to all as this is not an era of trying to satisfy a particular politician. It maintained that all hands must be on deck to ensure that PDP takes over the mantle of leadership in Osun state come 2018. The statement claimed that the problem of Osun PDP started when Otunba Iyiola Omisore openly declared that he would scuttle the peace and tranquility being enjoyed by Osun PDP if his anointed aspirant for the PDP Chairmanship position is not picked as a sole aspirant, a move, it noted, was rejected by majority of party faithful.
