Kwara ACN crisis: Group fingers PDP decampee
The Youth Vanguard of Kwara State Action Congress of Nigeria has fingered former members of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) who decamped to the opposition party late last year of being behind division and crisis rocking the party.
The State Coordinator of the Vanguard, Emmanuel Adeoye Oluwole during a press conference disclosed that one Engr. Jide Usman who was a PDP member, Dr. Sa'ad Omoiya, the Director of Dele Belgore(SAN) campaign and Toyin Ayinla were the arrowheads of a faction rooting for the return of Belgore as sole gubernatorial candidate of the party.
Oluwole said, Mr. Kayode Olawepo, still remained the authentic state Chairman of the party and was the only one representing the state at the NEC due to his status in the state.
"Our position is that Mr. Kayode Olawepo is the only recognised Chairman of the party in the state. He is the only NEC member at the national level because he is qualified to be there as the Chairman of the party in the state.
"We also support the party's decision that the party does not have any candidate for elective position in the state, that only the Caretaker Committee inaugurated by NEC are mandated to manage the affairs of the party".
The Coordinator of the youth stressed that Olawepo's track records in the last general election, using 25 percent party members to achieve over 150 percent election outcome despite 75 percent aggrieved members of the party had left, showed that he is capable of running the affairs of the party.
Identifying Engr Usman and Ayinla, former member of PDP as prime suspects, Oluwole noted that their actions were meant to hijack the party and impose Mr Dele Belgore as the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the 2015 general election.
