Ekiti PDP faces fresh crisis as SWC members tackle chairman

The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is facing a fresh crisis ahead of the state congresses.

This is as some members of the State Working Committee, SWC, accused the State Chairman, Chief Agboola Alaba, of failing to carry the executives along in decision making.

They claimed that Alaba was running the party like his personal fiefdom without recourse to other executive members.

A joint statement by members of the SWC after an emergency meeting expressed worry over Alaba’s action on issues relating with the coming congress, adding that decisions not discussed or agreed upon by the SWC members were being championed.

The statement was signed by Lanre Omolase (Deputy Chairman), Mrs. Funmilayo Ogun Secretary), Aare Amerijoye (Youth Leader), Abeni Olayinka (Organizing Secretary), Sunday Olowolafe (Legal Adviser), Funsho Afolayan (Northern senatorial chairman), Chief Folashade Akintade (Auditor), Chief Paul Oluwole (Treasurer), Gani Bakare (Fin. Secretary) and Ojo Gold (Central senatorial chairman).

They argued that Agboola has failed to unite the party for success, saying his leadership has not effectively advanced the party’s aims and objective but rather caused disarray within the party ranks.
