“Also, indiscipline and anti-party activities, agitation of Osun West agenda known as West Lokan, lack of commitment by party leaders and members, undue desire to grab money allocated to wards and units by leaders, ineffective use of the media to project achievements of the governor, inadequate preparation for election, poor election management and insecurity.”
Adewole added: “The party should curb indiscipline, pave the way for fair party primary election, at the end of every election, we must reconcile those who lost out. There should be standing committees to deal with reconciliation after every election, negotiating with interest groups to have a larger support base, and charging public elected officials specific levies or amounts to fund the party on a monthly or annual basis in line with the constitution of the party.
In his response, Oyetola promised that the party would review the recommendations and implement them for the unity of the party.
