Arrangements For Ward, LG, State Congresses In Top Gear, No Court Order Stands As ‘Obstacle’ -Osun PDP
Osun state PDP says the party has moved into top gear in respect of arrangements for its Ward, Local Government and State Congresses scheduled to hold this month while urging members and supporters to conduct themselves peacefully and keep to the rules.
The party has also assured them of fairness, transparency and inclusiveness in the conduct of the congresses.
State Caretaker Chairman, Dr. Adekunle Akindele in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com also asserted that no court order has stopped the party from holding its planned congresses adding that all members in the outstanding Wards where congresses would hold will be fully carried along, as well as all the relevant stakeholders and delegates ahead of the Local government and State Congresses.
The statement also clarified that the provisions of the party’s constitution as well as the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 ‘are clear about conduct of congresses’, noting that the congresses are to elect leaders of the party as required by the Constitution of the country which ‘is purely a domestic affair of the party that abhors any external influence’.
‘Members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the outstanding Wards where congresses would hold across Osun state are enjoined to uphold the tenets of democratic sportsmanship, fairness and openness, while all relevant stakeholders and delegates without any exception will be given a say in electing the Local government and state officials of the party in the upcoming congresses.
I encourage all our members to keep campaigns within bounds and endeavour to refrain from engaging in any act capable of sabotaging the progress of the party or exposing the party to ridicule and opprobrium. The party has working internal rules and machinery for ironing out all differences which members are free to explore’ the statement noted.
The party also called for understanding among its members, cautioning that ‘the focus of the party in the state for now is to come out clean and unscathed from its congresses in order to provide necessary supports for the governor in the discharge of his constitutional responsibilities to the state, and also to support and hold the base for all the elected candidates of the party in the last general election with regard to the discharge of their legislative duties’- – Team@orientactualmags.com
