PDP Will Win Ondo Despite Leadership Crisis —S-West Party Chair

National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, South-West Zone, Kamorudeen Ajisafe, has said that the crisis rocking the national leadership of the party would not stop its victory in the November governorship election in Ondo.

Ajisafe, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, said that the chances of the PDP Candidate, Mr Agboola Ajayi, in the election remained bright.

He assured that the leadership crisis would soon be resolved, adding that Nigerians still have much confidence in the PDP.

Ajisafe said many Nigerians, especially voters in Ondo, had expressed confidence in the PDP to better their lot, owing to what he called non-performance of the APC.

His words: “Our chances are bright. I can inform you that politicians are actually moving into our party from other political parties to demonstrate their desire to have PDP back in power. PDP will surely win this election and we are quite hopeful because of the support expressed by the people.

“We want INEC and the security agencies to be neutral and allow fair play in the interest of the country and posterity.”

On the national leadership crisis bedeviling the PDP, Ajisafe described the emergence of factional groups within the National Working Committee, NWC, as a product of misunderstanding and not a sign of a big crisis, and “we are trying as much as possible not to allow that matter to affect us in the forthcoming Ondo election.”
