PDP To Hold Lagos State Congress On Saturday



 
 
 

Following the successful conduct of Ward and LGA Congresses, the PDP in Lagos State is set to hold its Elective State Congress on Saturday at the Tarawa Balewa Square.

Controversy over Chairman since the defection of Hon. Moshood Salvador to the APC and the selection of Engr. Deji Doherty to take over from him which was subsequently nullified by the court in favour of Dr. Adegbola Dominic. Dominic had been the Lagos West Vice Chairman of the party and should have replaced Salvador, rather than Doherty.

After Dominic’s death the NWC eventually confirmed Alhaji Hassan as the Ag. Chairman last week.

This Congress is expected to put an end to the controversies of the party and put PDP in a position to challenge the APC in 2023 for the Alausa Roundhouse. The leading Chairmanship contenders are Dr. Amos Fawole, erstwhile Assistant and Acting Secretary, Niyi Adams, the State Youth Leader, Hon. Phillip Aivoji, Dr. Tokunbo Pearse and a host of others.

The Coordinator, digital media team, Atiku/Obi 2019 and immediate past head of corporate affairs, TSTV Africa,Mr. Demola Olarewaju will be contesting for State Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Elective State Congress.

The electoral committee is led by His Excellency the Deputy Governor of Benue State, Engr. Benson Abounu while the Secretary is Senator Abiodun Olujinmi.

In a statement by the PDP South West general Secretary, Hon. Rahman Owokoniran, he said that the Congress is expected to go hitch free. ” We have all worked very hard to see that the Congress goes smoothly and we have good contenders vying for all the offices.
We are certain that the best persons for the offices will emerge to move the Party forward in preparation for 2023

“I am using this opportunity to wish all contestants the best of luck in Lagos and other states”. He also advised all contestants to remember that PDP is one big family with a huge task ahead. He added that the spirit of good sportsmanship is what is expected from all contestants. PDP has no winner, no losers, Hon. Owokoniran said.
