PDP SOUTH WEST SECRETARY WELCOMES SDP RETURNEES
The secretary of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo has welcomed members of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) back into the fold.
The SDP members led by its Chairman in the 2019/2019 general election in Osun State, Dr. Bayo Faforiji officially received PDP flag on Tuesday May 12, from the acting Chairman of the party, Elder Sunday Akanfe (Atidade). Dr. Faforiji has subsequently directed all his members to join the PDP as active members henceforth.
Recall that Dr. Faforiji, who originally defected from the PDP to the SDP in the run-up to Osun 2018 governorship election, has led a political structure known as “Kosemani movement” which almost tore the erstwhile SDP apart.
In a Press release obtained by Nigeran Platform, the PDP Zonal Secretary congratulated Dr. Faforiji and all his followers across all the local governments in the state for a successful coming-back home to their original political platform.
Rev. Bunmi Jenyo also charged all PDP members from ward to state level to be accommodating to their brothers and sisters, who are now returning to their original homes from the defunct SDP.
“It is now time for consolidation, hospitality and encouragement of all our lost members, who are now returning to to our great party (PDP), as led by a great leader of men with exemplary political acumen, Dr. Bayo Faforiji of the defunct SDP” Rev. Jenyo said.
Kosemani movement dissolved into the PDP despite the Coronavirus pandemic saying “this became necessary because nobody knows the duration of the Covid-19 lockdown period and there is the need to take care of the interest of the generality of our members”
“Our agreement today (Tuesday) is that our members should approach their ward secretaries for registration” Dr. Faforiji has said.
Dr. Bayo Faforiji was a former state commissioner and two-term Chairman of Atakumosa East local government of Osun State.
