The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State says no State Chairman has been elected to replace the former Chairman, late Alhaji Fatai Adams.
The death of Adams paved the way for Mr Tola Alabere, who has been the party’s chairman in acting capacity.
Recently, a congratulatory message emanated online wherein the acting chairman was acknowledged as chairman.
Kennedy Ikantu Peretei, State Publicity Secretary, PDP, Ondo State in a statement on Monday made available to Precision Online Newspaper described the message as mere distraction.
“The PDP Constitution 2017 as Amended has unambiguous provisions for replacement of officers due to death or removal. Article 47(6) of our Constitution is very clear. Therefore, the purported congratulatory message, which has no author is fake, baseless, unconstitutional and crafted to create problems where there are none. For all intent and purposes, the fake Congratulatory Message is mutinous and a calculated attempt to undermine efforts at rallying support for the PDP Governorship Candidate, H.E Agboola Ajayi at the November election.
“The tenure of the present State Executive Committee of the party expires on 3rd August, 2024, those who are desirous of assuming responsibilities for party positions are advised to wait accordingly,” the statement noted.
