The Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Oyo state has postponed the primary election for the selection Chairmanship candidate for Ibadan North local government election indefinitely.
According to a party source at the event, the posponment was announced by the Local Government’s party Chairman, Prince Seun Adelore.
Although the time and venue of the next day is yet to be made public but all the stakeholders of the party across the 12 Wards, approved the posponment.
It was reported that some party stalwart have hijacked the process to favour one of the Aspirants, called Yusuf Sahib Oladayo, against the intention of the other Aspirants who want the process to be transparent.
“The leaders that supported the doctrine of delegates list in support of Hon. Yusuf Sahib Oladayo are not popular, they knew conducting free and fair primary election wont favour them so they want to corner everything, their action is not in line with the party constitution and can further polarise the party and may affect the ongoing reconciliation process, so the governor should do everything possible to ensure equity and openess in the process and i am sure he would be more respected as a responsible leader and party man.
The names of the contestants were:
- Hon. Adeniyi Akanbi Waheed
- Hon. Kazeem Oshoniyi
- Mr. Yusuf Sahib Oladayo
- Mr Jonathan
- Mr Oluwaseun
