The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kwara state chapter has expressed apprehension over the possible return of Senate President, Bukola Saraki lamenting that his return could lead to the hijack of the party structure in the state. The State Chairman of the party, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo who stated this on Wednesday
when he visited the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus in Abuja appealed that the structure of the party should not be tampered with in the event that Saraki returns, stressing that the party would make certain concession to him by conceding vacant positions in the State Executive Committee.
“We are apprehensive of what the national leadership can do to welcome somebody who had gone away from the party and is being given a royal welcome into the party. It is not Saraki’s coming that create any fear, it is whatever the national leadership can do to encourage him to seize the party’s structure from established people of Kwara State.
Whoever is returning must respect the structure of our party and cooperate with us appropriately. We will welcome Saraki with open hands if he comes to be part of the party. We can’t say somebody should not join our party."
“In plain language, the executive that is on ground was constitutionally elected for four years and parties are always in anticipation of new people joining them. You cannot dismantle the structure of a party because someone is joining the party,” he added
