The Osun State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Hon. Soji Adagunodo, has described as hasty, needless and unfortunate the decision of a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Otunba Iyiola Omisore, to dump the party at this time.
Adagunodo made the remarks in response to the alleged burning of the PDP flag by a few party members in the presence of Omisore on Thursday in Osogbo.
He expressed surprise at the conduct of the party members in spite of several efforts being made by leaders at the national and state levels to reconcile them with the mainstream of the party.
Adagunodo reminded Omisore of the fact that it was the PDP that God used to save him from political annihilation in the Alliance for Democracy and subsequently made him a ranking senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who rose to become the chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the higher legislative chamber.
He advised the former Deputy Governor not to fall for the antics of the ruling All Progressives Congress, which is desperately seeking to hold on to every flimsy straw in its quest to divide the party and manipulate the electorate.
Adagunodo urged the teeming members and supporters of the PDP in Osun State to remain calm and focussed on the ultimate target of winning the next governorship election and restoring the state back to its prosperous path beginning from November this year.
