• Kemi Elebute emerges ADP female governorship candidate
• Conservative accuses Oke of peddling lies over Oyo APC state, council executives
Following the controversy generated by the just-concluded primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, a faction of the party loyal to Senator Biodun Olujimi yesterday said it would make its next political move known on Sunday.
Olujimi disclosed this to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti after a meeting with members of the faction held to deliberate on alleged shoddy treatment and injustice meted out to her during the PDP governorship primary.
The senator, who was an aspirant and later pulled out of the governorship race over alleged irregularities in the election, said that the decision whether to stay or leave the party would be collectively taken after due consultation and deliberation by her group.
She said her faction had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of former Acting Governor, Tunji Odeyemi, to consult widely with her loyalists in all the 16 local councils and turn in its report.
MEANWHILE, as the governorship poll draws nearer, Mrs. Kemi Elebute Halle has emerged the governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
ADP’s National Chairman, Yabagi Yusuf Sani, disclosed this yesterday at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja during the unveiling ceremony of Halle candidature for the governorship poll.
Sani, who stated that Halle’s emergence spoke volume of ADPs commitment to the inclusiveness of women and youths in the governance of the country, expressed optimism that she would explore the numerical strength of the youths and women to emerge victorious in the poll.
IN another development, a member of the late Adebayo Alao-Akala political’s dynasty, Alhaji Laide Busari, yesterday, lampooned the immediate past Oyo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Akin Oke, for announcing a ‘harmonised list’ of the party’s executives in which he (Oke) declared that Chief Abu Gbadamosi was agreed on as the state chairman instead of Ajiboye Isaac Omodewu.
Busari said Oke had lied against Alao-Akala in the statement he issued on Monday.
He said Oke was not facing the fact but only wanted to destabilise Oyo APC.
SIMILARLY, a group within the party, The United Front (TUF), yesterday, berated Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Adeolu Akande, for casting aspersion on Omodewu.
