We have not been served any notice on the reinstatement of Adagunodo – Osun PDP

By Web News 730

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, says it has not received any order of the court reinstating its former Chairman, Mr Soji Adagunodo.

In an interview with Radio Nigeria, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP, Osun State Chapter, Mr Oluwabamiji Oladele said the interim order referred had not been served on the party.

Mr Oladele stated that once it was served the party would study it and make necessary reactions. 

Radio Nigeria correspondent who visited the office observed that nothing had changed at the PDP Secretariat on Ikirun Road as the newly appointed Chairman of the party, Mr Sunday Bisi is still in charge.

An Osun State High Court sitting in Ikirun had on Tuesday reinstated Mr Soji Adajunodo as the chairman of People Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State.

The order of the court, presided by Justice Jide Falola was consequent upon an application filed by Mr Adagunodo seeking an interim order of the court to reinstate him as the party’s chairman pending the determination of the motion on notice. 

The National Working Committee in October 2020 had ratified the removal of Soji Adajunodo as the chairman of the party following a vote of no confidence passed on him. 

A statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan directed that Mr Sunday Bisi take over as chairman of the party.

Osun PDP Wants Adagunodo Reinstated

By Web News 752

Members of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun state want the National Working Committee of the party to reinstate the embattled chairman of the party, Mr Soji Adagunodo.

The coordinator PDPUnity Group in Osun state, Mr Gbemi Onifade made the demand at a press conference in Osogbo.

Mr Onifade noted that the process leading to Mr Soji Adagunodo suspension did not follow the party constitution.

He hinted that none of the members of the party’s Board of Trustees in the state was consulted before the order to suspend the chairman was taken.

Also speaking, another youth coordinator, Mr Moses Adeleye who said infighting had always been one of the major factors robbing the party of victory, called on the leadership of the party to resolve the issue amicably.

Mr Adeleye urged the party to be wary of some unscrupulous members who were hell-bent on destabilizing the party.

He called on party leaders, and other critical stakeholders to intervene to save the party from imminent collapse.
