Ondo PDP denies electing new Chairman
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State has dismissed insinuations that a new Chairman has been elected to replace late former Chairman, Alhaji Fatai Adams.
It said its amended Constitution of 2017 spelt out provisions for replacement of officers due to death or removal.
Spokesman of the party, Kennedy Peretei, in a statement issued in Akure, said a purported congratulatory message to a new Chairman was fake, baseless, unconstitutional and crafted to create problems where there were none.
“For all intent and purposes, the fake congratulatory message is mutinous and a calculated attempt to undermine efforts at rallying support for the PDP Governorship Candidate, H.E Agboola Ajayi at the November election.
“The tenure of the present State Executive Committee of the party expires on 3rd August, 2024, those who are desirous of assuming responsibilities for party positions are advised to wait accordingly.”
