One of the chairmanship aspirants of the party, Dr. Bayo Faforiji, and thousands of his supporters stormed the party secretariat as early as 8:30am to protest the alleged hoarding of the forms by the State Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa.
Faforiji’s supporters almost lynched a supporter of Mr. Soji Adagunodo, who is also a chairmanship aspirant but for the timely intervention of security men at the scene.
Faforiji, who is said to be supported by Senator Iyiola Omisore accused Olaoluwa of not giving forms to his supporters in order to disenfranchise them in the election despite that he paid the stipulated amount of money for the forms and fulfilled other requirements.
Faforiji said, “I and my people are saying today’s congress should be cancelled and rescheduled for another day because of the chairman who should be neutral is not.
“We are also calling for the dissolution of Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa led executives because the chairman decided to hoard the forms from our people. We can’t reach him on the telephone and he is not at the secretariat as you journalists can see.
“The state chairman is causing an unnecessary tension by Hoarding the forms.”
But Adagunodo, who is said to be enjoying the backing of the National Secretary of the PDP, Prof. Wale Oladipo, debunked the allegations against his camp, saying his opponent obviously was not prepared for the congress.
Adagunodo said Faforiji’s camp paid late for the forms and decided to disrupt the congress because they knew defeat was staring them in the face.
He added that the opposing camp was making baseless allegations because they already knew they would be defeated.
