lagos—A former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe and chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos, Capt. Tunji Shelle (retd) yesterday, warned that any plan to impose candidates for the ward and local government congresses of the party, would be resisted.
They said this at a stakeholders meeting of PDP leaders in Lagos.
Ogunlewe, on his part, called on members of the party to resist any form of imposition of candidates during the exercise, saying “you will be the ones to pick your leaders for any position.”
The former minister also appealed to members to shun factionalisation within the party, urging members to set aside their grievances.
He said: “Henceforth, I want you to know that no leader can dictate to anyone at any level, because the party belongs to you. You will be the ones to select and elect your leaders from the ward to the state level. Enough is enough of imposition. I also want you to unite and set aside your grieviances because the party is now one.”
Speaking earlier, the party chairman, Shelle attributed indicispline and lack of sincerity to the party’s defeat in the 2015 general elections.
The party leader said: “we failed during the last elections because of indicispline among members and because people were not sincere. I believe things will change as from now on. If we had won, some of the rascality we’re experiencing in the party will not be happening.”
