A former governor of Ogun State,
Gbenga Daniel, has refuted reports of an “ongoing war” between him and Chief
Bode George over the chairmanship of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
His reaction is contained in a
statement made available by his media aide, Ayo Giwa.
It said while the reports cited
anonymous sources as the authority of the reported disagreement, it was
important to set the record straight lest the general public and members of the
PDP take them with any bit of seriousness.
“Otunba Gbenga Daniel has proven
time and time again that he is a strict follower of the tenets of Yoruba
culture and tradition which places premium on respect to elders.
“Chief George is not only one of
the founding fathers of the PDP but an elder statesman who has made tremendous
contributions to the development of the party, therefore, there is no way
Otunba Daniel would have disrespected him let alone confront him openly.
“Report of confrontation with
Chief Bode George in any way is only a figment of the author’s imagination and
never took place.
“The focus of the stakeholders
across the South West presently is rebuilding the party and reconciling members
and factions alike.
“Achieving a united and vibrant
opposition with proper repositioning to offer better alternative to the people
in 2019 is the mission at hand.
“When the time comes, the post of
the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party will be a collective
decision of members of the party in accordance with the constitution of our
great party, the PDP.
“We call on the public to kindly
disregard this ‘sponsored’ report as the incidence cited does not reflect any
reality in matters particular,” the statement read.
