South-West PDP Congress: Olafeso Seeks Second Term In Office

• South-West PDP Congress
• Olafeso said he was seeking a second term as the National Vice Chairman of the party because prominent leaders of the party in the Southwest want the structure of the party under his leadership to be retained.

The immediate past Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest, Chief Eddy Olafeso, on Friday, met with Members of the State Executive Committee and Local Government Chairmen of the party in Ondo State to seek their support ahead of the Southwest Zonal Congress.

Olafeso who is seeking a second term for the office of the National Vice Chairman of the party in Southwest decided to return home to seek the support of his people after receiving the backing of prominent leaders of the PDP in five states of the Southwest which includes Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun and Lagos States respectively following his aggressive campaign and political tour of the affected states.

He urged the PDP principal officers in the state to support his aspiration of becoming the National Vice Chairman of the party at the PDP secretariat in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The PDP remains the only hope of rebuilding a better Nigeria and that is the reason many of us believe in it and we will continue to do so until our dying date.

“The issue that brought me here is to reaffirm my commitment, loyalty and dedication to the party and to let you know that by the virtue of the Constitution of the PDP, I am running for the position of the National Vice Chairman of the party in the Southwest.

Olafeso also debunked the rumour making the rounds that he would facilitate the dissolution of the state executives of the party in Ondo State if elected the National Vice Chairman in the southwest.
