A former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, on Wednesday,
said he had not dropped his ambition to contest
the Ogun State governorship election.
In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of
Dimeji Bankole Movement, Kayode Akintunde, in
Abeokuta, the ex-Speaker frowned on the action
of the leadership of the party in the state for
conducting the governorship primary, describing
it as shocking, giving the order by the national
leaders to put it on hold.
The statement stated, “We wish to state that
Dimeji Bankole’s governorship ambition is still
very much on course. However, we appeal to our
teeming supporters and party members to
remain calm and focused as we await the NWC
directive.”
The PDP in the state had held its primaries for all
the aspirants including governorship but they
had been cancelled by the National Working
Committee of the party.
Bankole said the decision not to hold the primary
was reached on Sunday by the leadership of the
party in Abuja.
He said, “The meeting had the National Working
Committee, led by Alhaji Adamu Mua’zu , Dimeji
Bankole, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and Mr. Buruji
Kashamu in attendance, where certain decisions
were taken.
“It was resolved at the meeting that Monday’s
governorship primary should be put on hold
pending the time all issues are resolved. All the
purported primaries earlier conducted were
declared null and void.
“That no member should query or challenge the
decision of the NWC in the court and finally that
the party will make a decision that will be fair
and acceptable to the three leaders by Monday.
“It is, however, unfortunate that despite the
agreement reached on the said date, some
people still went ahead to conduct the primaries.
“Their decisions have clearly showed that they
are invariably working for the downfall of the
party in the forthcoming polls as well as cause
confusion among the members of the party and
disaffection between two political districts in
Ogun State.”
