Ogun PDP is not a one-man Show – Chairman
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Hon. Sikirulai Ogundele, on Thursday insisted that the party is not a one-man show nor is it any man’s business.
The party chairman made the insistence while addressing members and leaders of the party during a meeting held at the party secretariat in Abeokuta, the State capital ahead of the party Congress.
Ogundele equally insisted that the PDP must give opportunity for all aspirants, adding that every member of the party.
His words “Ogun PDP is not a one man show. It is a political party that must be seen and it must be run like a political party. We must give opportunity and level playing ground for all aspirants. This political party is nobody’s business. It is not somebody’s private business.
Meanwhile, Ogundele has blamed the party loss in the 2023 election on its Governorship candidate, Hon. Ladi Adebutu.
Ogundele said Abutu’s stubbornness has been the major cause of the party’s election loss since 2019.
The party chairman stated this while addressing members and leaders of the party during a meeting held at the party secretariat in Abeokuta, the State capital ahead of the party Congress.
For instance, the Chairman recalled, that despite Atiku Abubakar, the party’s Presidential candidate and former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s appeals to Ladi Adebutu to allow former governor Gbenga Daniel contest the Senatorial seat on the party’s Ticket, Ladi remained adamant and turned down their appeals.
He said “Atiku visited Abeokuta to appeal to Adebutu to allow Gbenga Daniel contest for the Senatorial seat on the party’s ticket but Adebutu refused vehemently. If Adebutu had conceded PDP would be on that seat by now. For these reasons, I came to the conclusion that Adebutu does not love the party and he doesn’t want us to win the election.
“Is like there is a perceived curse on him from being a governor.
Ogundele alao warned members of the party to stop causing a crisis, insisting that PDP is not anybody’s personal property.
He said, the party must be seen and run as a political party that is fair and just to every member irrespective of their financial status or position.
