All Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ward and local government chairmen in conjunction with other leaders of the party met today, February 12, 2024 in a bid to unite and chart a new course for the peaceful coexistence among the leaders and members of the Party in Ekiti State.
The Chairmen under the leadership of Chairman of All Local Government Party Chairmen Hon Kole Abiodun, urged all the leaders in the party to close ranks and work together in order to ensure peace in the forthcoming ward congress in the state.
Other leaders who spoke to encourage the members present include former Deputy Governor of the State Prof Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, PDP BOT member representing Ekiti Hon Ojo Oke, former Deputy Speaker Rt Hon Segun Adewunmi, Former State Chairman Chief Idowu Faleye, the former Commissioner for Works and Transportation/State Secretary Hon Mrs. Ogun Funmilayo Theresa, State Youth Leader Hon Aare Tope Amerijoye, State Lagal Adviser Barr Olowolafe and Former Deputy Governorship candidate Hon Deji Ogunsakin, Pastor Anjorin former state secretary, Hon Dapo Olagunju fmr ALGON chairman amongst others.
Some of the resolutions at the meeting include:
1. That all local government chairmen should immediately organise a stakeholder meeting in their respective local governments to appeal to all leaders to close ranks and work together for the collective good of all and sundry. The same must be replicated at ward levels.
2. That a political solution must be pursued to reduce the tension and uncertainty surrounding the status of the leadership of the party in the state. A committee should be set up to immediately interface with the National Working Committee concerning the appeal filed against the State Working committee.
3. That anyone caught involved in anti-party activities should be suspended forthwith.
4. That each Local Government should nominate five notable leaders to a steering committee that will champion a reconciliatory move that will work towards ensuring a seamless congress.
