In a move not akin to Nigerian politicians, four members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) of Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have tendered their resignation from the committee to allow for full harmony to return to the party in the state and to mobilise for the victory of Jonathan in the forthcoming election


The affected officers are Adeduro Charles, Vice Chairman (Ondo Central), Wemimo Olaniran (Financial Secretary) Yomi Akinfenwa (Legal Adviser) and Akndulureni Sampson (Auditor)
With the resignation of the party officials, the state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, has been handed almost absolute control of the state chapter of the party.

The PDP National Working Committee (NWC) had recently announced the dissolution of the state executive of the party but the decision was upturned by the court.

However, few days after the court victory, some of the party officials tendered their resignation, saying it was done for the sake of peace.

In a letter of resignation dated December 2 and addressed to the national chairman of the party and copied to President Goodluck Jonathan and Senate President, David Mark, they said their action became necessary because of the recent developments in the state chapter of the party.

The letter read in part: “given recent developments in the state chapter of our dear party, there is the compelling need for proper harmonisation of the various interests that have cropped up especially as agreed by leaders of the party at both the state and national levels during meetings chaired by the President of the Senate, David Mark”.

In addition, they said their resignation also became imperative in order to mobilise for the victory of Jonathan in the forthcoming election and to maintain unity within the party.
