Osun Council Poll:PDP Members Urge Governor Adeleke To Prevent Imposition of Candidates

2nd June ,2024

Some members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in local communities across Osun State have urged Governor Ademola Adeleke to intervene and disallow imposition of candidates on them during the forthcoming local council primary election.

In a press release issued by the Concerned Osun PDP Stakeholders on Saturday the group said,"Against the overall interest of Osun PDP members, some desperate party leaders have decided to impose candidates to the detriment of our great party.

"This plan, if allowed to fly, will inevitably cause agitations and protests across the board.

“We are, therefore, concerned that if this planned undemocratic selection of chairmanship and councillorship candidates are not looked into, it may spell doom for our party. Certainly, what we abhor is the disintegration of the party, ” the group noted.
