The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State against allowing its internal crisis to degenerate into violence that could destabilise the state. CNPP Director of Information and Strategy, Prince Ayo Adelabu, said Ekiti people would not want the factional crisis rocking the PDP to return the state to the killings and maiming witnessed in the seven and half years the party ruled the state.
Adelabu said in a statement in Ado Ekiti, that the stand-off between the PDP National Vice-Chairman (South West), Chief Segun Oni’s camp and the party’s State Working Committee (SWC), led by Mr. Makanjuola Ogundipe, had started impacting negatively on the prevailing peace in the state.
It will be recalled that the crisis rocking the state PDP has assumed a new dimension since its March 18 congress, where loyalists of Police Affairs Minister, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (rtd.), and former Governor Ayodele Fayose, won all the positions while the Oni group won none.
The CNPP spokesperson berated Oni for being partial in the leadership crisis rocking the party in the state, just as it urged the state PDP chairman to refrain from utterances that could heat up the polity and reconcile with his members.
He urged the former governor to have a rethink and return home to settle the political impasse rocking PDP rather than touring other states to settle rifts ‘when his house was leaking.’
