Ogun PDP To Commence State Congress In February

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has fixed February 2016 for the commencement of its congress.

The congress is expected to usher in new executive members at the ward, local governments and state levels to pilot the affairs of the party in the coming years.

The disclosure was made by the Chairman of the PDP, Mr Bayo Dayo, in Ijebu-Igbo on Sunday, during a reception organized for members of the party representing the state at both the National and State Assemblies.

While admonishing party faithful and supporters to continue to be united for the progress of the party, Mr Dayo said that the era of impunity and indiscipline among members was over in the PDP as the party was ready to maintain sanity and reposition it for victory

Responding to questions from reporters after the event, the Vice Chairman, House Committee on States and Local Government Administration representing Ogun East senatorial district, Mr Buruji Kashamu, lauded the ongoing fight against corruption by the Federal Government.

Mr Kashamu, however, urged Nigerians to rise above party and religious persuasions in this direction

The party also reflected on the Appeal Court’s judgment which returned members of the party serving at the State and National Assemblies, who were hitherto sacked by the Election Petition Tribunal, as a reflection of the hope for the masses from the judiciary.
