The Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun West
faulted the process that led to the emergence of the new National Chairman of
the party, Uche Secondus, describing it as a charade and gross injustice.
The Chairman of the Ogun West Senatorial
district of the party, Leye Odunjo, said this on Tuesday at a press conference
held at the party Secretariat in Abeokuta.
He also faulted the one-month suspension
placed on the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial district, Buruji
Kashamu.
He argued that only the National Executive
Council of the party could suspend Kashamu.
Odunjo further explained that the result of
the national convention would be challenged in the law court.
He said, “The PDP in Ogun State and for us in
Ogun West particularly, our expectations from the December 9, 2017 elective
convention was very high.
“Because
of the urgent need to get rid of the Ahmed Makarfi National Caretaker Committee
that bastardised and commercialised the party to suit selfish purposes.
“It must be noted that this charade will be
tested by the law and the reign of impunity shall be terminated in PDP.
“We in Ogun West PDP regard the purported
suspension of the distinguished Senator as the last and desperate action of the
failed and better-forgotten Makarfi Caretaker committee.
“We wondered what time the National Working
Committee/National Executive Council met at midnight to take such a decision
that did not in any way relate to the success or failure of the then-impending
convention.
“The leaders and party executive from Ogun
West Senatorial district hereby resolve and pass a vote of confidence in
distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu as the leader of the PDP in Ogun State.”
