…Say Gbolarumi cannot destabilise party in the state
Two prominent Ibadan Mogajis and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State have warned a former party member, Diran Odeyemi, to steer clear of the affairs of the party, describing his recent comments on the party’s internal matters as unnecessary and provocative.
The warning was issued by two prominent party stakeholders, Mogaji Abass Oloko and Mogaji Ademola Olasomi Oladosu, who also criticised former deputy governor of the state, , for what they described as actions capable of causing disharmony within the party.
In a statement made available to journalists in on Friday, the Mogajis said it was surprising that , who they claimed was no longer an active member of the PDP in the state, would continue to make comments on issues concerning the party. They said such actions were capable of misleading the public and creating unnecessary tension within the party structure.
The duo maintained that the PDP in Oyo State remains united and firmly under the leadership of Governor , stressing that no individual or group has the capacity to destabilise the party ahead of future political engagements.
They also cautioned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, , against interfering in the internal affairs of the party in Oyo State, insisting that the state chapter of the PDP is capable of managing its own issues without external influence.
According to them, attempts by some individuals to align with external political interests in order to create division within the party would not succeed, noting that party leaders and grassroots stakeholders remain committed to protecting the unity and stability of the PDP in the state.
The Mogajis further stated that the alleged political moves by Gbolarumi would not gain traction among party faithful, adding that members across the state remain loyal to the existing leadership and the collective vision that has sustained the PDP’s dominance in Oyo State.
They urged party members and supporters to remain calm and focused, assuring that the leadership of the party would not allow distractions capable of derailing its programmes and preparations for future elections.
The PDP chieftains also reaffirmed their support for Governor Makinde’s administration, describing his leadership style as inclusive and responsible, while urging those with grievances to channel them through appropriate party structures rather than engaging in public confrontations.
They concluded by warning that individuals who are no longer part of the party should refrain from making inflammatory remarks about its internal affairs, stressing that the PDP in Oyo State remains united and committed to strengthening its structures across all local governments.
