JUST IN: PDP NWC rejects relocation of party secretariat, issues directives to members

 

The National Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party has rejected the relocation of its party Secretariat in Osun State.

It would be recalled that the embattled Chairman of the party, Soji Adagunodo last year announced the relocation into a new secretariat (Kings Square) citing expiration of rent at the Biket office.

But the PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan described the new party Secretariat as a “strange office”. The party stated that the only recognized Office of the PDP in Osun State is the one located at Biket Area in Osogbo.

The statement reads “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alerts Nigerians of clandestine plots by certain individuals to set up a strange office in Osogbo, Osun state, and purport such to be the Osun State secretariat of the PDP.

“For the avoidance of doubts, the PDP states in unequivocal terms that our legitimate state secretariat in Osun State remains our offices located at Km 3, Ikirun Road, beside Federal Road Safety Corps Office, Biket Area, Osogbo, Osun state.

“It is imperative to state that our great party does not operate or recognize any other state secretariat in Osun State other than the above stated.

“All party members, critical stakeholders and supporters, particularly in Osun state and the nation at large, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), all security agencies, the media and the general public should take note and be guided by this accordingly.

“The leadership of the PDP charges all our members in Osun state to continue to work together and not be distracted by any such divisive plots, especially at this time that our party is working relentlessly to rescue our nation from misrule.”
