The jostle to produce the next party chairman and other principal officers have renewed the age-long rivalry between the factions headed by former Governor Ayo Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi.
The discontent engendered by that action led to the mass defection of members to the then opposition All Progressives Congress , now the ruling party in the state. For instance, the Olujimi camp now sees the forthcoming congresses in April as an opportunity to liberate the party from the grip of the godfatherism that undermined its performance in the last governorship election, while the Fayose camp equally sees it as an avenue to assume total control of the machinery of the party.
He said what happened to the PDP in the last governorship elections is not strange in the political terrain. He conceded that “there are factions in the party and that it’s not strange”. He said the party leaders have made a lot of efforts to unify its members ahead of the April congresses. He acknowledged that it is only when members close ranks that the party can win elections.
