Ahead of the scheduled South West Zonal Congress of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Osogbo come Monday April 12th, 2021. Some concerned stakeholders have raised alarm over breach of constitution and duplication of delegates name from the list approved by the National Working Committee of the party.
In a petition signed by the Zonal Youths Leader aspirant, Aremo Femi, alongside Mubo Taiwo (Ex-officio) and Michael Okuntade (National Ex-officio), they raised issues relating to duplication of delegates name, inclusion of deceased name, and that of those that have decamped from the party.
Also, the petitioners raise concerns over the wrong allocation of offices to non existing executive member and that of local government chairman as no local government election have been held in the state to have substantial executive chairman as the governor has dissolved the constituted caretaker committee leaving HLA to be manning the affairs of the local government administration.
Below is the full detail of the petition:

Sir, there is nothing like Elders’ Committee in OYO STATE PDP. This is strange and should be totally discarded. Kindly note that Oloye Mutiat Ladoja and Chief Gabriel Layi Bale are not members of the said committee, their names should be removed immediately.
There are no council chairmen in Oyo State presently though election is slated for May. Oyo State Local Government is currently managed by the most senior officer of the council as an administrator.
It is piercingly devastating that the name of Mr. Taiwo Iyiola is removed as the Chairman of Ibadan North East Local Government for his vice chairman. This is totally unacceptable and a constitutional aberration.
Also, one Michael Ogunsinna is never an executive member of the party but a personal assistant to Alh Wasiu Adeleke. It is a fraudulent act for whosoever input his nae on the list as an executive.
While we hope that the corrections would be effected as a matter of exigency and urgency, we wish everyone safe trip to Osogbo, Osun State.
Thank you.

Aremo Femi (Zonal Youths Leader Aspirant)
