The former aide to Oyinlola on Students Affairs, in a statement obtained in Osogbo, on Thursday, insisted that a group within the party had distributed offices among only Adeleke loyalists, and alienated other interests in the party fold.
The statement read in part: “Two weeks ago, a stakeholders’ meeting was conveyed and to the dismay of the party members across the state, the Caretaker Committee called only a few members, while so many top echelons of the party, including former governor, BOT members and an array of former party executives were excluded from the meeting, where a lot of issues affecting the party were discussed.
“I am bothered because if the current arrangement, where only a clique is allowed to apportion offices to both qualified and non-qualified people for party offices, it will not augur well in the future. Only loyalists of the governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke were given forms. “The Zoning basket of the party was never discussed at any fora. The State Working Committee offices that have been domiciled in Osun Central and West Senatorial Districts in the last eight years, , were still retained in those places, which is not right with the spirit of zoning in the PDP,” Babarinde further explained.
