Published

on

Concerned Women groups under the auspices of Peoples’ Democratic Party, National Women Parliament in conjunction with Diaspora PDP Reformers have called on the national leader of the party to come to the rescue of the Ogun State by ensuring that the people have a unification front and not repeat the mistakes of the past that may cause the party to loss the upcoming 2023 general and state elections.
According to a statement signed by National Coordinator of PDP National Women Parliament, Hon Yetunde Odubote, National Secretary of PDP National Women Parliament, Omolara Popoola Williams and Diaspora Coordinator for National Women Parliament and Woman Leader of Diaspora PDP Reformers, Olanike Babawande, the group urged the Deputy National chairmanship of the PDP, His Excellency, Taofeek Arapaja, Southwest Zonal Chairman, Soji Adagunodo and all concerned leaders of the party
to prevail on the members in Ogun State to shun personal interest that led to internal divisions, rancor, bickering, and infighting and work together for the progress of the party toward the coming elections.
“Ogun State is a state that has produced Nigeria President, House of Representatives Speaker, Ministers and Heads of parastatal under our great party. Our party governed the state for eight productive years but lost to the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), now all Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2011, 2015 and 2019 general elections. We are about to lose the upcoming 2023 general elections again if care is not taking.
“Many states were also affected, states like, Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun and some other PDP controled state. Oyo has been reclaimed and we believe Ogun state will also be reclaimed if a reunification rally, meeting and collaboration is made now. For over a decade, some national leadership of PDP instead of resolving these crises in Ogun state PDP, they have taken turn in milking the problems, turning it into a cash cow, when will this stop?
“If there is a way to reconcile all factions either Ladi Adebutu or Late Buruji caucus, you are a leader and you need to be fast on this matter.   We are law abiding people, let us sheath the sword. Enough of legal tussle. We need another level of intervention to amicably resolve this matter as was done in Oyo State.
“Sir, we love this party, and we cannot be watching our locality rot away because of internal crises, we are imploring you to please intercede,” the statement read in part.
