The National Secretariat of the People’s Democratic Party has directed the State Deputy Chairman of the party in Osun State, Elder Sunday Akanfe Atidade to start acting as the Chairman.
According to a letter signed by the party’s National Vice Chairman, South-West, Dr. Eddy Olafeso addressed to Sunday Akanfe, the party directed him to take over the duties of the Chairman in an acting capacity.
The letter stated that the directive complied with the position of the National Working Committee, pending the outcome of the trial of the suspended Chairman by the National Disciplinary Committee of the party.
The letter reads in part: “In compliance with the directive of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party, you are, hereby, directed to begin to act as Chairman of the Party in Osun State, pending the resolution of the issues contained in the letter addressed to Mr. Adagunodo Olasoji dated 30 April 2020.
“Please treat as urgent and accept the assurances of my best regards.”
It would be recalled that the national working committee has in a letter dated April 30th ordered the then chairman, Hon Soji Adagunodo to step aside pending the investigation of allegations of maladministration, malfeasance and anti-party leveled against him.
