LG Elections: Ignore Appreciation Message From Phantom Group, Kale Kawu Didn’t Provide Support For Our Candidates-Kwara PDP
Kwara State PDP has urged members of the public to ignore media reports claiming that a group, the ‘PDP Grassroots Movement’ issued a statement to thank Engineer Kale Kawu for providing support for the party’s candidates ahead of the local government elections held on September 21,2024.
The party has described PGM as a phantom group adding that it is unrecognized and nonexistent.
In a statement issued in Ilorin and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr Olusola Adewara, the party advised ‘Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his people’ to ‘settle their scores with Kale Kawu without getting the PDP involved in their inferiority complex games’.
“It is important to note that we maintain detailed records of all our stakeholders who provided financial or logistic support for our candidates, many of who proudly declared their contributions on social media. It is important to clarify that there is no record of Engineer Kale Kawu offering any such support to the PDP or its candidates, whether for chairmanship or councillorship positions, ahead of the elections.
Additionally, the PDP is also aware of a recently created WhatsApp group by certain fifth columnists, claiming to be mobilizing for Kale Kawu within the party. They have been asking PDP members to join the WhatsApp group and promising them the sum of forty thousand naira (N40,000) in exchange for posting false testimonies on social media, linking Kale Kawu to the PDP and suggesting that he financially supported our local government elections struggles
We strongly distance ourselves from these impostors and urge all PDP members and supporters to avoid any dealings with such deceitful individuals. We will not allow our party to be manipulated into advancing the selfish agendas of external actors.
As a party, we hold Engineer Kale Kawu, just like other progress-loving Kwarans in high esteem and as a traditional title holder in the Ilorin Emirate council, a consummate public servant and a philanthropist with a track record of positively impacting the lives of many Kwara indigenes.
We therefore call on all members of the public, as well as our loyal party supporters, to disregard the false narratives being circulated. While the PDP maintains an open-door policy and would gladly welcome Engineer Kale Kawu if he chooses to join our party, the fact is that at this moment, he is not a member of our party, and there is no affiliation between him and our party at any level in Kwara State’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
