Factional Osun PDP chair takes over secretariat
The Nation reports that Akanfe, the former deputy chairman, was inaugurated as the acting chairman in Akure, the Ondo State capital, after Soji Adagunodo was suspended by the National Working Committee of the party for alleged anti-party activities.
Adagundo, in a statement, insisted that he remained the chairman of the party and called security operatives to act against any forceful attempt to take over the secretariat, to avoid a breakdown of law and order.He said his administration would be sensitive to the agitations of youths. Akanfe said: “My leadership in Osun State chapter of the PDP at this time is borne out of internal working of the party. It is a duty I cannot lobby to undertake. It is a duty I cannot lawfully reject as well. As a baby of circumstance, I cannot pray the cup to pass over me because the cup has nowhere else to fall constitutionally, except on my head.
“Henceforth, I will work with organs of the party, including essential directorates to plant the seed, water and nurture our message of the task, the Operation Rescue Osun State. “To the ruling party in the state, I want to say that the die is cast. The moment of truth is here. Your dubious and unprofitable stranglehold on the state is enough.”
