The sack of former governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last Friday by a Federal High Court has further threatens to tear apart the ‘big umbrella’ and put in disarray the self acclaimed ‘biggest party in Africa’. OLAJIDE OMOJOLOMOJU writes on the intrigues surrounding the development.
For a long time to come, the centre may continue to be scattered in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which had prided itself as the largest party in Africa. The reason for this may not be unconnected with the sack from office of the party’s National Secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, by an Abuja Federal High Court last Friday and his consequent removal by the National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur.
As things stand, the party seemed polarised along two factions: the loyalists of President Goodluck Jonathan on the one hand and that of former President Olusegun Obasanjo/PDP governors on the other hand.
The bone of contention is nothing but the 2015 presidential ticket of the party. Prior to the PDP 2012 national convention, the party zoned its national offices to different geo-political zones.
