Different reactions and accusations have been trailing the state congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, currently going on in Akure.

A chairmanship aspirant, Mr Dennis Alonge expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct of the event.

Mr Alonge who is a former National Youth Leader of the PDP frowned at the set up and choice of location for the congress which he claimed did not comply with COVID-19 guidelines.
