A pressure group within the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, the Reset Group of Osun PDP, has called on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the caretaker national leadership of the party to urgently intervene and prevent what it described as a further collapse of the party’s structure in the state.
This was contained in a letter signed by the President and Secretary of the group, Akinwale Oyetunde and Adeyeye Olugbenga addressed to the chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Abdulrahaman Mohammed, and Wike.
A copy of the letter was obtained in Osogbo on Friday by our correspondent.
The group stated that the actions of the Osun PDP leadership led by Sunday Bisi were undermining the party and pushing members towards other political platforms.
To save the party from extinction, the group demanded the dissolution of the PDP State Working Committee led by Bisi, saying the leadership crisis in the Osun chapter deepened after the state executives participated in the Ibadan convention, which was later nullified by the Court of Appeal.
It also alleged that the State Working Committee had openly backed Governor Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Accord Party in the August 15 poll, without the approval of the PDP’s National Working Committee.
“The state leadership has endorsed the Accord candidate, Governor Adeleke, without the official concurrence of the National Working Committee.
