Group Rejects Outcome Of Kwara PDP Congress.
The Freedom Group in the Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the result of the State Congress declared on Wednesday by the Barnabas Gemade electoral committee.
The group claimed there were glaring irregularities in the conduct of the congress.
After a preliminary assessment of the Congress and its outcome, the group said the outcome was full of discrepancies, especially on the variance between the number of delegates accredited and the number of votes recorded for the contestants.
Specifically, the group said whereas more than 800 delegates were accredited, just about 550 votes were recorded for all candidates who contested the chairmanship seat.
“What happened to the balance of about 250 votes of accredited delegates”, it queried? The group also alleged foul play in the sorting and recording of votes for some candidates.
It said that many votes cast in favour of Mr. Bode Ojomu, one of the chairmanship candidates were stolen by officials engaged in the sorting exercise.
“Moreover, Hon. Gabriel Olatunji, who contested to be vice chairman, Kwara North senatorial district, was scored zero, but the candidate voted for himself and had many supporters who voted for him at the Congress.
In summary, the Freedom Group is convinced that the results declared at the end of the Congress do not reflect the choice of the delegates who went through a rigorous screening and accreditation process”, the group said in a statement signed by Chief Lanre Ogundeji.
