Opposition Not Pleased With Success Of Our Congress – PDP

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos, Osun and Ogun States have been commended by the National Reconciliation and Strategy Committee of the party for the successful Congress in the region.

The committee in a statement released through its secretary, Linus Okorie, said the leaders of the party in South-West disappointed the opposition who have been fueling division in the party and thought the congress will not be successful.

Okorie further stated that the maturity, peaceful disposition, unity, devotion, good spirit of brotherliness and sportsmanship displayed at the congress deserved emulation by PDP leaders in other zones within the party.

“With what happened in Osogbo, our leaders in the South West have demonstrated that the PDP can retake the South West in 2023 and that with the incompetence being displayed by the ruling party, a united and refocused PDP is a better option for the enlightened people of the South West.

“While we hail all the stakeholders who have yielded to the pleas of the Reconciliation Committee to shift from their original position and made way for peace, we also want to emphasise that the success of the PDP South West Zonal Congress is another achievement recorded by the National Reconciliation and Strategy Committee.”

“It shows that the committee has continued to break new grounds and record more achievements. The members of the committee feel inspired by the positive turn of events in the South West PDP that we are now reassured that we will fully reunite every State chapter of the party by the end of the second quarter of this year“, Okorie stated.

Meanwhile, the National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Peoples (PDP), South West, Eddie Olafeso, has accused the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, of sponsoring political thugs to the zonal congress in Osogbo, capital of Osun on Monday.

Recall that the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, had alleged that armed men numbering more than 150 invaded the hotel where he lodged.
