PDP national body don’t enforce aspirants on states —Olopoenia

IT is not in the character of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national body to enforce on or choose governorship candidate for states chapters and the case of Oyo State cannot be different. Making this assertion was a PDP chieftain, Alhaji Rasheed Adebisi Olopoenia, while featuring on an Splash FM radio programme in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Tuesday. He said each state chapter of the party knew its aspirants; those who could help win elections in their various states and as such, there was no point enforcing any aspirant on the party by the national body. On the alleged leadership tussle bedevilling the party, Olopoenia said nothing of such existed. According to him, all the groups had unanimously agreed that Chief Yekini Adeojo was their leader and the issue of authentic chairman of the party had no basis. Olopoenia concluded by commending President Goodluck Jonathan’s effort at curbing the spread of Boko Haram insurgency to other states of the country. He remained optimistic that the security agencies in the country would soon overpower it.
