LG Election: Aggrieved aspirants should channel grievances for resolution — Osun PDP

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State has called on aggrieved members to channel their complaints over the recent concluded local government primary election process for resolution.

The call was made by the Osun PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi in a statement obtained by DAILY POST on Saturday.

Responding to reports of complaints from some of the aspirants, Bisi assured those with grievances that all genuine complaints will be looked into.

The Osun PDP chairman also urged members to cultivate the habit of exploring internal mechanisms for the ventilation of their grievances.

He said, “the party leadership will not support injustice in whatever form, hence the initial release of timetable for the primary process which include appeal even after a winner has emerged at the primary.

“The PDP is a very popular platform in Osun State, hence many want to fly the flag of the party at the local elections.

“We are the winning party because our Governor is delivering well to the people. We are not surprised our primary process has drawn so much attention and controversy.

“We are aware of complaints in some local governments. We will surely resolve them amicably. So the door of the state leadership is open. We will get a stronger PDP at the end of it all.

“Now that we have complained one way or the other, it is time to meet the state leadership for resolution.

“The PDP remains a strong electoral platform. We are a family and we must adopt a conflict resolution mechanism.”

DAILY POST gathered that some aspirants seeking for tickets as chairmanship and councillorship candidates complained of imposition by the party hierarchy.

The primary election was held by the party in preparation for the local government election scheduled for February 22, 2025.
