THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South-West zone, has accused the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) of planning to cook up allegations of financial malpractices against the PDP national secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and the national vice chairman (South-West), Chief Segun Oni, saying that “any attempt to carry out the clampdown on PDP members in Osun and Ekiti states by the ACN will be resisted.”
The PDP, which also described criticism of the just concluded national congress of the party by the ACN as hypocritical and nonsensical, said “if, according to the ACN, the PDP that conducted open congresses to elect its officers from ward to national levels lacks internal democracy, what does the ACN, which is solely owned and controlled by a single individual and has not changed its national chairman since 2005 lack?”
In a release issued by the zonal publicity secretary of the PDP, Honourable Kayode Babade, the party alleged that a meeting was held in Lagos on Sunday by ACN leaders, where ACN governors were mandated to embark on a total clampdown on PDP members in Ekiti and Osun states.
“We are aware of the meeting held by the ACN leaders in Lagos on Sunday, and the directive that evidences of financial malpractices against Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Chief Segun Oni must be made available at the next meeting slated for the end of this week.
“Also at the meeting, total clampdown of PDP members in Ekiti and Osun states was directed, because of the emergence of Oni and Oyinlola as national officers of the PDP.
“While we are not against anyone from pursuing whatever allegation he has against Oni and Oyinlola, we, however, wish to state that like their previous efforts, this new attempt to frame up Oni and Oyinlola will fail,” Babade said.
