Osun PDP Reps caucus disowns governorship primary

Osun State caucus in the House of Representatives yesterday accused Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of attempting to cause trouble in the state by importing “thugs and political jobbers” to conduct a governorship primary.

In a statement in Abuja, the caucus members, who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), rejected Tuesday’s governorship primary and asked the winner of the exercise, Adebayo Adedamola Fryo, not to parade himself as the candidate of the party.

The members of the caucus include Bamidele Salam, Mudashiru Alani, Akanni Ademola, Adewale Adebayo, Adetunji Olusoji and Oladebo Omoleye,

They accused Oyo governor of political brigandage and disowned the purported governorship primaries allegedly conducted in Osun State under his influence.

They expressed disappointment in Makinde and demanded that he should desist from any further action capable of threatening the peace of Osun State or destabilising its political atmosphere.
