Adeleke dissociates self from  Makinde’s endorsement of Damagun, insists on compliance with party’s constitution

 

 

Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has dissociated himself from Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s  endorsement of Iliya Damagun to continue as the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

 

 

Makinde had declared that the South West PDP of the party was 100 percent in support of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Damagun.

 

 

But Adeleke said he was not part of the endorsement, clarifying that he stands by the relevant provisions of the PDP Constitution.

 

 

“I stand by the Constitution of our great party which clearly spelt out the succession procedure in case of the exit of an elected chairman.

 

 

“I also stand by the resolution of the PDP Governors’ Forum of which I am an integral part.

 

 

“Our party must adhere to its Constitution at this critical time and at all times. That is the way to build a responsible political party.”
