S’West Congress’ll Be Transparent, Credible, PDP Assures

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has released the list of delegates ahead of its South-West Zonal Congress scheduled to hold in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, today.
According to a press release signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu (rtd) and made available to newsmen, yesterday, the availability of the delegates’ list was in line with the mandate of the PDP to conduct a free, credible and transparent congress.
While wishing all aspirants, stakeholders, party members and supporters a hitch-free congress, the party maintained that its congresses remained in strict compliance with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) guidelines on Covid-19.
It would be recalled that the South-West zonal congress had earlier been slated to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, but the change of venue became necessary as a result of the misunderstanding between the former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde.
Their disagreement had been premised on the leadership of the party in the zone, and also the choice of zonal chairman, between Dr Edward Olafeso, who has the backing of Fayose and Taofeeq Arapaja, a former Oyo State deputy governor, who has the support of Makinde.
