A Faction of The South West Threatens To Leave PDP Over Chairmanship Position

The South West of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has threatened to reconsider its continued membership of the party if it is denied the chairmanship position in the forthcoming national convention.

The region also took a swipe on the Senator representing Ogun East in the National Assembly, Senator Buruji Kasahmu, describing him as a traitor and political imposter.

Buruji had led some members of the party from South-west recently on courtesy call on the party National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, demanding that the north should retain chairmanship of the party.

Former presidential aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe in a statement on Sunday, warned that? “any attempt to sideline the region many force them to reconsider its continued members.

“There is an embarrassing falsehood being propergated by political charlatans from the South-west and some influential collaborators in the top echelon of the PDP.

“The seed of this misrepresentation was sowed by a group of political clowns and court jesters under the leadership of Senator Buruji Kashamu, a political impostor who claims he is the leader of the party and the Yorubas in the South-west,” he added.
