  • Ogun PDP urged to unite

    The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun West Senatorial District yesterday urged factions in the party to sheath their swords.

    It warned that should Ogun PDP continue to carry on with a divided house, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) would remain in power beyond 2015.

    Ogun PDP, in the last two-and-a-half years, has remained divided following the emergence of various factions.

    There are no fewer than four factions in the party, including those of Prince Buruji Kashamu and Senator Dipo Odujirin, which is believed to be loyal to former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

    Ogun West PDP, in a statement by party leaders in the zone, including Mr. Kunle Salako, Chief Wale Egunleti, former Forestry Commissioner Ali Ajibode, Mr. Kunle Akinosi and Evangelist Titus Eweje, among others, urged the factions to dialogue and resolve their grievances.

    It said: “We recognise dialogue as a time honoured veritable conflict resolution mechanism and urge aggrieved stakeholders to shun violence and embrace dialogue and conflict resolution procedures stipulated in the party’s constitution.”
