The national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday, inaugurated its campaign council for the Osun
state governorship election.
The election is scheduled to take place on July 16. Ademola
Adeleke, a former senator, is the party’s governorship candidate.
The PDP had named Douye Diri, governor of Bayelsa, as
chairman of the committee.
Seyi Makinde of Oyo; Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto; Okezie
Ikpeazu of Abia; Nyesom Wike of Rivers; Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
of Enugu; Bala Mohammed of Bauchi; Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa; Godwin Obaseki of
Edo, and Samuel Ortom of Benue were appointed as vice-chairmen. But they were
all absent from the inauguration, including Diri.
Those who were present at the event include Ifeanyi Okowa,
PDP vice-presidential candidate; Darius Ishaku, governor of Taraba, and other
NWC members.
Speaking before the inauguration, Umar Damagum, acting
chairman of the PDP, expressed confidence that the party will win the gubernatorial
election.
“We have a very popular candidate in Osun and we have no
reason not to win the election,” he said.
“So I believe with
the calibre of people in this committee, I’m sure Osun will become ours, you
will make a lot of sacrifices for the task ahead of you, engage stakeholders
that are aggrieved.”
