Mega Icon Magazine learnt that while upholding the list of executives that belongs to ACCORD, SDP, Labour Party and AD, the party instructed that the executive slots allocated to the old PDP block with the exemption of the State chairmanship position will be investigated for necessary review if need be.

In a chat with Mega Icon Magazine, the former Oyo Accord Party spokesman, Engr. Akeem Olatunji hinted that the Ahmed Makarfi led NCC made this revelation during a meeting with the Oyo State leadership of the party at Wadata House, Abuja on Friday.

It was gathered that the  meeting also had in attendance party faithfuls who felt aggrieved over the results of the State Congress held at Watershed events centre in Ibadan.

According to him, the  Panel upheld Kunmi’s victory having examined all the petitions filed before it.

“To this end, the leadership enjoins all party members and supporters in Oyo State, to put the issue regarding the State Congress behind them.
“We should work together as one indivisible family ahead of the 2019 elections,” quoting the National Caretaker Chairman.

In his remarks, the newly elected Chairman, Alhaji Kunmi while playing host to party faithfuls who thronged his home yesterday described his victory as an act of God, calling on his contender to join him in the arduous task of rescuing Oyo State from the misrule of APC.

He, however urged all PDP members to see themselves as brothers and sisters with a common goal to contribute positively to the growth of the State and by extension, Nigeria.

On the contrary, the defunct SDP publicist in Oyo state,  Mr Akeem Azeez through his facebook page dismissed the information describing it as untrue.

His statement reads,  “this is far from the truth as both leaders from both congresses are meeting and holding consultations with National leaders to find amicable solution to the disagreement that led to the parallel congresses.

“We are part of the reconciliation meeting held in Abuja on the congresses last Wednesday and the National leaders of the party led by the National Caretaker chairman, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and there was no time did the party leaders made such statement. They have only promised to investigate the matter and make their findings and resolutions known to the general public”.

He, therefore enjoined party members and members of the public to disregard such information and wait till party National leaders make available official statement on the final verdict on the matter.

The PDP is making frantic efforts to set up an interim leadership structure in all the 33 local government areas so as to gain enough clout to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, come 2019.

This is coming few days after the national caretaker chairman of the party, Senator Makarfi visited former members of the PDP in Ibadan.

According to sources who confided in Mega Icon Magazine on Sunday, an interim committee would be put in place to give the political platform a leadership direction, pending conclusion of all necessary arrangements, noting that the interest of all the political parties that made up the new merger would be duly protected.

One of the sources hinted that the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and the Accord Party, (AP), are part of the merger arrangement, revealing that the committee would comprise the political bigwigs and notable names in Oyo state who are members of the party.

“In a bid to avoid creating a vacuum and also to regulate the activities of the party, the caretaker committee would be inaugurated at least in two weeks”, the source disclosed.

The governor disclosed this while reacting to media reports that he had removed the name and logo of the PDP from his campaign office and mini signposts which were striking around Ado and Ikere-Ekiti roads.

However, he maintained that he remains a pukka member of the PDP, until the outcome of the court judgement.

Meanwhile, the governor has echoed several times that he does not recognise Senator Sheriff as the party’s leader.

It would be recalled that on February 17, a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, ruled that the caretaker committee headed by Senator Ahmed Makarfi was illegal and could not act on behalf of the PDP.

Governor Fayose also met with youths in the state where he solicited for more support for his administration, just as he urged them to come out en masse on May 19, to honor the late former Governor of the Southwest Region, General Adeyinka Adebayo.
