There seems to be no end in sight to the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West over the forthcoming zonal congress.
The party has been polarised following vested interests of the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde and a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose over who becomes the next zonal chairman of the party.
The zonal congress has been postponed several times before the March 6 date was fixed, but the Makinde bloc is raising the alarm over an attempt to postpone the congress again.
The group said the birthday party may additionally sink deeper in crisis if the NWC colludes with some “reactionary elements” within the birthday celebration to postpone the election.
Our correspondent learnt that there is a move through some stakeholders of the party to record a court case to stop the congress as division deepens over who becomes the national vice president, South-West.
Also, yesterday, any other institution of stakeholders inside the quarter, under the aegis of “PDP Collectives” warned that the birthday celebration is probably treading a direction of “self-destruction” by using suspending the South-West zonal congress scheduled for March 6.
The chairman of the ‘PDP Collectives,’ Professor Tejumade Akitoye-Rhodes, stated the postponement would be “definitely unacceptable.”
When contacted, the countrywide publicity secretary of the celebration, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, asked the stakeholders to anticipate a final choice, pronouncing it'd be communicated to them soon.
