The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is not happy over its inability to settle the rift between the camp of Senator Ademola Adeleke and some aggrieved governorship aspirants in Osun State, led by Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, The PUNCH learnt on Wednesday.

Adeleke, who is a senator representing the Osun West Senatorial District in the Senate, is the governorship candidate of the PDP in the September 22 election in the state.

He defeated Ogunbiyi with seven votes, which was contested by the defeated candidate.

Ogunbiyi, who was backed by some other aggrieved aspirants, petitioned the members of the National Working Committee of the party, complaining about alleged irregularities in the conduct of the primary that produced Adeleke.

Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Seriake Dickson, was the chairman of the election panel.

Though the NWC led by Prince Uche Secondus upheld the outcome of the primary, it nevertheless set up a committee to harmonise the sharing of political offices between the two camps.

The committee, which had four members drawn from each camp of Adeleke and Ogunbiyi, was said not to be able to resolve the differences.

Our correspondent gathered that the Ogunbiyi group, though agreed to work with Adeleke, allegedly gave some conditions.

Part of the conditions, it was learnt, was that the group would produce the deputy governorship candidate while Adeleke would drop his nominee for the position, Mr Albert Adeogun.

Adeogun, a member representing the Ife Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, is a retired Customs Area Controller.

He was among the aspirants who earlier signified their intention to run for the position of governor on the platform of the PDP but later stepped down for Adeleke.

It was also learnt that the Ogunbiyi group demanded an automatic senatorial ticket for the retired insurance chief, among other conditions.

However, investigations by our correspondent showed that the Ogunbiyi group had pencilled in a professor (name withheld) from Osogbo for the position of deputy governorship candidate.

Authoritative sources, however, said that the national leadership of the party was unable to reach Adeogun, who was expected to write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, about his desire to step down from the race.

The Electoral Act as amended makes it mandatory for a candidate for an election whose name has been submitted to INEC, to personally write to the commission and inform it that he is no longer interested in the race.

A source close to the Ogunbiyi camp told our correspondent that there was no way Adeogun would have allegedly absconded without the knowledge of Adeleke.

It was also gathered that the Adeleke group refused to offer automatic ticket of the senatorial district to Ogunbiyi in case the party wins the governorship election.

The source said, “How can Adeogun disappear and become unreachable without the knowledge of Adeleke? He actually colluded with the senator to disappear from our radar.”

This is the beginning of the for PDP. The worst explosion would come after the presidential primaries. The people rejoicing about the defections get ready to weep and accuse people

Don't mind them jare

Waiting for their army on the forum to start blaming Oshiomole for the crisis.

Don't be surprise!!! Its far better than your sucking /shedding blood party...

The number condition is totally absurd to me. How do you from the other side produce a running mate for a governor. Someone he never approved of. IF he forcefully accept this, the two of them will live a cat and dog life throughout their whatever if they win the election. And the citizens of Osun will suffer it big time.

The same devil that caused disarray and misunderstanding in PDP during the ondo election will surely do same in Osun.

Adeleke is a wrong candidate. A wrong dick in the wrong pussy.
PDP won’t win election again till 2023. They’re not serious and unorganized set of people. They keep producing candidates with questionable character.

APC will win the election despite the backlog of unpaid salaries by aregbeshola.

Pdp cannot win Osun State.

Say all the bullshit you want . Pdp can never win osun state
E pain am

I wonder why it's so hard to allow technocrats rule in Nigeria.

People who have been tested and trusted. Instead they keep

bringing in men with questionable characters and certificates.

Ogunbiyi that has employed over 2500 Nigerians with years of

experience in critical thinking and business organisation. May

God help Nigeria.

You can see its all about their pocket. That's what they want to do at the federal level too. Yeye PDP.

History repeats itself in a society that fail to learn from the past, this is how it started in Ekiti state.
