In line with its rule of engagement, the State Caretaker Committee of the People’s Democratic Party has inaugurated caretaker members across the 30 local government areas of the State.
The inauguration was done at the Party secretariat in Osogbo on Monday by the Chairman of the committee, Dr Adekunle Akindele and his members.
Speaking at the swearing-in, Akindele appreciated party members and leaders for the cooperation his committee has enjoyed since arrival into the State. He emphasised the need to work in unison towards attainment of the set goals.
Akindele reiterated his commitment to the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the Governor of the State in the July 16 governorship elections.
“The level of support we have so far received from all angles have been a sort of ointment of encouragement which I believe, will continue to energize us in working with you all for the ultimate goal of robust victory for the party.
“Like I mentioned last week, our great party cannot afford to waste a second in plugging all essential cords as we begin to move out and canvass votes with the Flagbearer of the party in the July 16 governorship election in the state, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke. I repeat there’s absolutely no time to waste.
“We have taken notice of speed of compliance with the instruction passed across to Stakeholders of the party in the local governments in submitting names that will form caretaker members across the thirty local governments of the state in line with our Committee’s rules of engagement.”
The caretaker chairman commended the party stakeholders in Osun State for considering the tendencies within the party while selecting local government caretaker members.
“I am also particularly elated that the names submitted took cognisance of different opinions and tendencies in the party, including mandatory inclusion of at least, one woman.
“Let me make it clear for sake of emphasis that this Committee was not put in place to play around, as doing so will be akin to severing expectations of the suffering masses of the state. As representatives of the national office of the party, our duty is to do everything within the spirit of constitution of the party and lay a very solid foundation for impenetrable victory at the poll, not just for us as party members but for the good people of Osun State. Remember the out of date election riggers and self confessed remote controlled poll manipulators are also in their gym, strategizing as usual. We must therefore be ready for them.
