The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Osun state chapter has denied the factional national secretary of the party, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, saying that his position did not represent that of the party in the state.
It would be recalled that Prince Oyinlola, former governor of the state, was last Saturday, appointed secretary to the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar-led faction of PDP, in Abuja.
But the party in the state, after an emergency meeting attended by stakeholders of the party, said Oyinlola was on his own for breaking away.
In a statement issued at the end of the meeting by the chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, the PDP insisted that it has implied confidence in the leadership of the party at the national level.
The communiqué also passed a vote of confidence on president Goodluck Jonathan and the newly elected working committee led by Alhaji Bamangar Tukur and other newly elected working committee members.
The party promised that come 2014 gubernatorial election in Osun State, PDP was sure of victory and will also deliver the state for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 presidential election.
According to the statement, “The party in Osun is ever formidable and as such will not support factionalisation. We urge members that have any issues with the party to follow the path of consultation, rather than confrontation.”
The meeting, according to the communiqué, was attended by Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun, a member of BOT, Erelu Olusola Obada, Minister of Defence, Dr Olu Alabi, Engr. Jide Adeniji, Senator Iyiola Omisore, Chief Abiola Ogundokun and Chief Francis Fadahunsi, among others.
