The newly elected Chairman of Ogun State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Hon
Sikirulai Ogundele, has assured supporters of
the party and people of the state that the party is
working assiduously to regain power and put the
state on the path of glory come 2019.
Ogundele and 26 other executive members that
will take charge of the affairs of the party were
elected in a peaceful and rancour free congress
which held at the Amphitheater of the Obasanjo
Presidential Library, Oke
Mosan, Abeokuta, on Tuesday, May 10, 2016.
The Chairman promised to woo back all the
aggrieved leaders of the party and run a
transparent and all inclusive executive where all
members will have opportunities to make
inputs.
“This is a new dawn in the politics of Ogun State. I
want to assure all our party members and entire
people of Ogun State that the PDP will take over
the government of our State in 2019.
“We will kick the APC out with our collective votes
in 2019 general election. We are confident
because the leaders that left our party have given
us green lights that they want to come back,”
Ogundele boasted.

The Ogun State PDP Chairman declared that the
party is not divided in the State and all members
will soon be under one umbrella in order to
achieve its goal of reclaiming the governorship
seat of the State that was lost to the opposition in
2011.
“We are one. We are coming together under the
big PDP Umbrella. We know the people of this
State are suffering under this insensitive APC
government, but the people should not lose hope
because the PDP is coming back to put smiles on
their faces again”.
