Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ife Federal Constituency have passed a vote of no confidence on the deputy governor of Osun State, Prince Kola Adewusi.
The members also said they no longer believe in the leadership of a chieftain of the party in the constituency, Prof. Wale Oladipo, and the chairman of the party in Ife East, Olasunkanmi Makinde.
They made this known in a communique issued at the end of their meeting on Monday in Ile-Ife.
According to the communique, the PDP members said they were disappointed by the continued fraternity of Prof. Oladipo, Prince Kola Adewusi, and Makinde with the lawmaker representing Ife Federal Constituency,
Bimbo Ajilesoro, who recently defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress.
The members said the PDP chieftains’ actions amounted to anti-party and posed a grave danger to the success of the party in Ifeland.
The communique reads in part, “That party leaders strongly condemn the invitation of thugs and hoodlums to the Ife Federal Constituency meeting by the Party Chairman, Hon. Olasunkanmi Makinde (a.k.a Benco), purportedly on the instructions of Prof. Wale Oladipo. This meeting was earlier scheduled to be held at the residence of the deputy governor.
“That the leadership is equally disappointed by the continued fraternity of Prof. Wale Oladipo, the Deputy Governor Prince Kola Adewusi, and the Ife East PDP Chairman, Hon. Olasunkanmi Makinde (a.k.a Benco), with Hon. Bimbo Ajilesoro, who has since defected from the party.
“That in Ife East, the party is enraged that loyal members, such as Lawrence Omotosho, Adeyinka Adeniji (a.k.a Gbogbo Ebe), Yakubu Olawusi, and others, who openly disassociated themselves from Hon. Bimbo Ajilesoro, following his defection, are being continuously victimized by being relieved of their government and party positions.
“A vote of no confidence is passed on, Prof. Wale Oladipo, the Deputy Governor Prince Kola Adewusi, and the PDP Chairman of Ife East Local Government, Hon. Olasunkanmi Makinde (a.k.a Benco).”
