PM News – Chief Bayo Dayo, Chairman of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ogun
State has declared that the former Speaker
of the Federal House of Representatives,
Dimeji Bankole is not among the aspirants
of the party that will contest the
governorship election primaries tomorrow in
the State.
He disclosed that the party was not aware
of the former Speaker’s aspiration to vie for
the exalted seat.
The Peoples Democratic Party has fixed
Monday for its governorship primary across
the State.
The Party said Bankole was not one of its
eleven aspirants that will be contesting in
tomorrow’s primary election.
The party added that the former Speaker
did not buy the expression of intent form
from the State secretariat in Abeokuta,
which would have formally announced him
as an aspirant in the contest.
The State Party Chairman of the PDP, Chief
Bayo Dayo disclosed this Sunday while
addressing journalists at the party
secretariat in Abeokuta.
He alleged that Bankole had since 2011
after losing his re-election bid into the
House of Representatives, distanced himself
from the party in the State.
He said he will never be a party to the
alleged plan to pick the former Speaker as
the consensus governorship candidate of
the PDP in the State.
According to him, “I’m still saying that I am
not aware that Dimeji Bankole is contesting
the governorship in Ogun State. The money
we are using to run this party is enormous.
Some people have been doing that for
years. Somebody cannot just say because
he has been to Harvard, Cambridge or
Oxford, he is coming to lead us overnight.
It’s not going to happen.
” So, if you are contesting, you must come
to the State secretariat and obtain an
expression of interest form. Those funds
that are given to us by the various
aspirants are the forms we are using for all
these primaries, congresses we are doing.
We do not have special funds for all these
things. It is the money contributed by all
these aspirants that we are using. The
arrangement about Dimeji Bankole, I do not
know anything about it,” Dayo maintained.
The Chairman revealed that, unlike other
governorship aspirants of the party in the
State, Bankole had failed to show
seriousness about his aspiration to become
the party’s standard bearer.
He said that Bankole had only been looking
for a “short cut” to become the PDP
governorship candidate, instead of going
through due process.
“If you want to contest the governorship of
the State, it is only two months to election
and two months to the election will you still
be struggling when the aspirant should be
going round the local government to tell the
people what you will do?
“When you see somebody who is only trying
to take a short cut, I can tell you there is
no short cut to a good job. If you want to
do a good job, you start from the scratch.
You must follow due process. This young
man is not following due process, he is
only looking for a short cut and there is no
short cut in politics.
“I can tell you today that whatever
arrangement is going to happen, I’m still
the Chairman of the party, I must know
what the arrangement, even though, it is
coming from our leaders at the national
level, I will still, at least, be an observer at
whatever meeting, where they are going to
have a tangible discussion,” Dayo said.
Engr. Bayo Dayo however said that he
could not stop any aspirant who had done
the right thing from contesting for the
tickets of the party, “but we will continue to
say it that Dimeji Bankole did not obtain
expression of interest form from Ogun
State. Until that is obtained, I wouldn’t
know him as one of our aspirants,” Dayo
posited.
The former Speaker’s phone lines were not
going through and he has not responded to
the message sent to him. www.newspunch.org/dimeji-bankole-kicked-out-of-ogun-governorship-race-24hrs-to-primary/
