Crisis in Osun PDP will be over in one month – Omisore

The crisis rocking the main opposition the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state will be resolved and a new set of leaders elected to pilot the affairs of the party before end of January, 2018.

This was disclosed at the Stats party’s secretariat in Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo by Senator Iyiola Omisore, at the flag-off of distribution of food items to party members.

He said the ward congress of the party had been concluded and that both local government and state congresses that would usher in new executives at local and state government levels of the party would be concluded latest by January, 2018.

Omisore, who was flanked by the factional state chairman of the party, Bayo Faforiji and the South West Zonal secretary of the party, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, said the party remains one and declared his readiness to work with every member to move the party forward.

According to him, common enemy “for PDP and Osun people is APC. We will get our acts together to face that monster and destroy it before it destroyes Osun. I am not to fighting with anyone in PDP. I am at peace with everyone.

“After completing our congress in January, PDP will come under one umbrella and from that point, we will take off fully. Don’t fight anyone. Let’s preach message of peace and face our common enemy – APC”.

On the January, 2018 local government elections, Omisore said the poll faces many obstacles that may eventually prevented it from holding, stressing that “it is not even clear which is which. If we are in Osun state or State of Osun, no one knows.

“Let the government resolve all the challenges it has created for the state before we can talk of any local government election. PDP is fully ready anytime to go to poll, but when uncertainties surround a poll, no serious politician will be too interested in such an exercise”.

As part of measures to fully restore confidence of the electorates in the party, Omisore said efforts are on to reach out to, especially the rural dwellers to further etch PDP in their minds and remind them many exceptional achievements of the party while in the saddle and enter into path with them, what the party will do, if given another chance at the leadership of the state.
