PDP disowns Finnih\u2019s Elders Council<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Abdulwahab Abdulah & \u00a0 Chioma Obinna
LAGOS \u2014 Governor Babatunde Fashola\u2019s keen competitor in the last governorship election in Lagos State and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Dr. Ade\u00a0 Dosunmu, yesterday, congratulated Fashola on his victory at Tuesday\u2019s\u00a0 election in the state.<\/p>\n

Dosunmu in a congratulatory message, said that though Fashola and himself campaigned and contested the poll, that what was important to him was the development of the state and a better welfarism package for the residents.<\/p>\n

Dosunmu lauded the people of Lagos State for their supports for him and his party and the tolerance given to him during the campaign and the way and manner they comport themselves during the\u00a0 elections.<\/p>\n

He added that his belief \u201clies in the fact that it is God that appoints whoever He wishes into positions.\u201d He said that his time will come in the near future.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cthe elections have come and gone and with every endeavour, positions have been taken, allegations have been made and several representations made concerning alot of issues. My conviction and position on these matters, however, is that in every situation, the will of the Almighty would always prevail. This gives me the strength to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dosumu further said he believed that his party and himself have run \u201ca good campaign to the best of our ability. I wish to put on record that for the first time in recent past, we ran a rancor and violence free campaign in Lagos.<\/p>\n

We addressed issues which often times evoked passion and strong sentiments and reactions, but our conviction in the positions taken remain unshaken as we believe that governance should be about the people. Perhaps, if given the opportunity again, we may run it differently, but that is a matter for conjecture as only the Almighty knows tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

PDP disowns Finnih\u2019s Elders Council<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

HOURS after the general elections, a crisis of confidence has hit the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the party disowned \u201ca so-called Elders Council headed by Dr. Abayomi Finnih.\u201d
A statement\u00a0 by the Publicity Secretary, Taofeek Gani, said loyal party members should be aware of the antics of a few \u201cwho never worked for the party but now are strategising to widen their political coast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gani said there was nothing like Elders Council in the party\u2019s constitution and therefore, any meeting by group \u201cis illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cfor the umpteenth time, there is no institution, no committee, ad-hoc or permanent, known as the Elders Council in the PDP\u2019s Constitution. Finnih is just an ordinary member of PDP, nothing more. Even here, we cannot vouch for his loyalty to the party because he and his cohorts never contributed anything at all to PDP campaign in Lagos in the concluded elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were never seen during the various elections, right from the National Assembly to the presidential, governorship and House of Assembly. We know some of these so_called party leaders who collected millions of naira mobilisation money on the pretence of working for the governorship candidate of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what did they do? They stayed at home without spending a kobo. Instead, they instigated their peripheral cohorts to vote for the ACN.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it is misleading, downright mischievous and absolutely nonsensical for Dr Finnih, who never played any role to enhance the fortunes of PDP, to now pretend he can now play any significant role in the future life of our party. Dr Finnih must be a dreamer\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
