A member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) National Caretaker Working Committee, Bisi Kolawole, says plans are underway to rebuild the fractured structure of the party and reposition it for future political exploits.
Kolawole, who was the PDP governorship candidate in the Ekiti State 2022 election made the statement on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti, during the state’s congress of the party.
The congress, which was monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies, elected Mr Lanre Omolase, an ally of former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, as the party Chairman while a former Commissioner in the state, Chief Tunde Ogunleye emerged as Secretary.
Others members of the State Working Committee elected at the congress were Babatunde Akande, Deputy Chairman; Femi Philips, Publicity Secretary; Lawrence Odunayo, Organising Secretary, Olugbenga Agbede, Legal Adviser; Mrs Ayodele Oluwatoyin Bosede, Women Leader; Banji Femi, Youth Leader; Gani Bakare, Financial Secretary; Anike Folasade, Treasurer; Ajayi Joseph, Auditor and Sunday Olowolafe, Adeniyi Adefemi and Segun Olatunji as Senatorial Chairmen South, Central and North respectively.
In his address to the party delegates, Kolawole acknowledged that the party had experienced internal challenges in recent times but expressed confidence that the leadership at the national level was working diligently to restore unity, strengthen internal democracy, and rebuild the confidence of members across the country.
Kolawole said consultations were ongoing among party leaders and stakeholders to ensure that the PDP emerges stronger and more united.
He charged the newly elected state executives to remain loyal to the party, respect its elders, and work collectively to move the party forward.
According to him, discipline, unity and commitment to the ideals of the party are necessary for the PDP to regain its strength and effectively play its role as a major political force in the country.
Speaking on behalf of the newly elected State Working Committee members, Omolase urged for commitment among party members, assuring that the party will rise again.
He promised to lead the party with the fear of God and ensure that the party regains its lost grounds in the state.
