Osun-2018 Gubernatorial election is only a few days ahead, and the Peoples Democratic Party are doing all they can as a political party to bring all aggrieved members together before the September 22nd 2018 elections, and this earlier today saw two rivals Senator Adeleke and Dr Akin Ogunbiyi coming together to sign a peace agreement in Abuja.
In what looked like his first job as the Chairman of the PDP Osun-2018 State Governorship Election Campaign Council, Senator Bukola Saraki a few hours ago, brought together two political gladiator in Osun State to settle their differences, after the primary elections that saw the emergence of Senator Adeleke as the flag bearer of the PDP in the September 22nd 2018 Governorship election.
While reacting to the epic event in Abuja earlier today the PDP Osun State Governorship election campaign chairman, Senator Bukola Saraki, said:
:Following marathon meetings today in Abuja, I am pleased to announce that we have a signed agreement between PDP gubernatorial candidate, Senator Adeleke and his rival, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi. As we approach the September 22, 2018 governorship election, our party moves forward as one.” He said.
Dr Akin Ogunbiyi who after his defeat at the PDP Osun State Gubernatorial primaries that saw Senator Adeleke’s emergence, had vowed to challenge the Governor Seriaki Dickson’s Committee that conducted the primaries.
Ogunbiyi who so many expected that he was going to clinch the PDP ticket for the Osun-2018 election, but narrowly lost to Senator Adeleke in the direct primaries conducted, had a few days ago, issued a statement aftermath of the primaries that reads:
“The outcome of that primary election has been a subject of concern to a great majority of our party members who have been disappointed, disillusioned and confused by the conduct of the exercise and the results as declared by the panel led by Governor Seriake Dickson.
”Some of the major issues which compromised the integrity of the exercise and made the results clearly unacceptable include the non-adherence to the clear provisions of the Electoral Guidelines and unfortunate manipulation of the accreditation, voting, sorting and counting of the votes cast by delegates at the primaries.
”Consequent upon these infractions, therefore, the votes attributed to me at the end of the voting exercise were much lower than what I actually scored as valid votes.
”I have, therefore, resolved to seek an immediate redress of this clear case of injustice which is contrary to the spirit of transparency and justice being propagated by the new leadership of our party led by National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
”I assure you all that the mandate which was freely given to me by a majority of the delegates will be reclaimed by the special grace of God.” He said.
…we await to see what the deal is for Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi after signing the peace deal ahead of the Osun-2018 election.
