The Imole Group, a political group under the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State has threatened its state chapter and National Working Committee that it will pull out its 150,000 registered members of the party over the issue of agreed slots to the group.
The group stated that an agreement was reached with the party that the group will be given one senatorial slot, three House of Representatives’ slots, and eight House of Assembly slots, predicated on a 60/40 per cent agreement.
The group in a statement issued in Abeokuta said “this was the basis upon which the group came into PDP and to our utter dismay this agreement was not honoured by the party in the scheme of things, as when the time came to honour the party reneged. This depicts an attendant height of deceit unprecedented in our sojourn politically as a group and as such we may be necessitated to deal with any other political party willing to show sincerity to our course as a group.
“This is inimical to the growth of the party and all these atrocious deeds are an open secret in Ogun state. Hence if all effort to correct this situation should fail at the top echelon of the PDP we may be left with no choice than to move out with all our over 150, 000 registered members to a more peaceful and secured political party once negotiation is concluded and be assured in clear terms that PDP has lost out in Ogun State.”
