Ogun PDP In Crisis As Loyalists Dump Kashamu

The crisis rocking the Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) appears to be escalating with no end in sight.
Hitherto, the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state, Sen. Buruji Kashamu and a former House of Representatives member, Hon. Ladi Adebutu have been at daggers drawn with each other over the control of the party in Ogun.
While the National Working Committee of the party took side with Adebutu, Kashamu ran to court to seek protection in order to retain his Bayo Dayo-led executive as the one in charge of the party in Ogun.
In recent times, the supremacy battle in the party took a new dimension as the party prepares for another congress to elect new state, local government and ward executive officers.
Our source reports that some members of the incumbent state executive committee loyal to Kashamu took the former Senator by surprise as they were in Abuja with the Ladi Adebutu faction for a peace meeting.
The Secretary of the party in Ogun, Semiu Sodipo, led other executives to the meeting with the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus last Wednesday, where they announced joining forces with Adebutu to have a peaceful congress.
Shocked by the turn out of event, the state Chairman, Bayo Dayo wasted no time in debunking the claim that the Kashamu faction is teaming up with Adebutu.
