The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has distance itself from the campaign council constituted by its governorship candidate, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, for the November 16 election.
The party in a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary, Hon. Kennedy Peretei said it would not recognise the Eddy Olafeso-led campaign council set up by Ajayi.
The party described the unilateral composition of the campaign council by the governorship candidate as an embarrassment and a violation of its Constitution(2017 as Amended).
The party said: “The announcement by one Samuel Ogunmusi appointing persons to coordinate the Campaigns of H.E Agboola Ajayi for the November Election is not only embarrassing but a violation of the PDP Constitution (2017 as Amended).
“Articles 46(1) and 40(1)(a)(b) and (c) does not permit of such announcement coming from individuals not known to the party. To such an extent, all the supposed announcements are null, void and of no effect.
“Our party is an organised party and guided by rule of law. At the appropriate time, appointments for the Local Campaign Council will be made public.”
Thefrontrank reports that Ajayi, had in a statement issued on Monday by his Spokesperson, Sam Ogunmusi, announced the appointment of Dr Eddy Olafeso, as the Chairman of his Campaign Council.
The statement also announced Clement Faboyede, Director-General (DG)Campaign Council, Prince John Ola Mafo, Director-General (Special Duties), and Mr Deji Aseniserare as Secretary of the Campaign Council.
