The Chairman of the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Sunday Bisi, has urged party members to submit any complaints they have regarding the local government primary election process to his office for resolution.
This call follows allegations of candidate imposition for the upcoming local government elections in the state.
In response to concerns raised by aspirants seeking the party’s chairmanship ticket, Mr. Bisi addressed the issue on Friday, assuring that all genuine complaints would be thoroughly examined.
The PDP chairman encouraged members to utilise the party’s internal mechanisms to address their grievances, emphasizing that the party’s leadership is committed to ensuring fairness and justice.
He noted that the popularity of the PDP in Osun State has led to intense competition for the party’s tickets.
Bisi urged those with concerns to put their complaints in writing and submit them to the state leadership for consideration.
He also reiterated that the party would not condone any form of injustice, highlighting that the primary process includes provisions for appeals even after a winner has been declared.
“The PDP is a very popular platform in Osun State, hence many want to fly the flag of the party at the local elections. We are the winning party because our Governor is delivering well to the people. We are not surprised our primary process has drawn so much attention and controversy.
“We are aware of complaints in some local governments. We will surely resolve them amicably. So the door of the state leadership is open. We will get a stronger PDP at the end of it all.
“Now that we have complained one way or the other, it is time to meet the state leadership for resolution. The PDP remains a strong electoral platform. We are a family and we must adopt a conflict resolution mechanism,” Bisi said.
