The members of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State, have rejected the nomination of Olugbenga Obalowo as the caretaker chairman in the local government and Mr Diji Odegoke as Sole Administrator, Ibarapa North East Local Development Area.

The dual were part of the nominees of sole administrators and caretakers governor Seyi Makinde sent to the state assembly for confirmation.

PDP disclosed this in a joint statement signed by Adekunle Waheed; Joseph Ayoade; Tajudeen Ayandele; Isack Adeyemi; Amusat Wahab; Soliu Rufai and Ismail Musbaudeen, party Chairman and Ward Chairmen respectively which was made available to newsmen on Tuesday.

The statement added that to say the nomination of the duo of Obalowo and Odegoke was based on their popularity as politicians in the local government is a fallacy.

The statement reads “To set the record straight, the nomination of the party’s preferred candidates was unanimously agreed on and was duly documented and signed by the party chairman, Ward Chairmen and party leaders including Chief Adewale Atanda.
