Two factions of the PDP led by Fayose and Olujimi held parallel state congresses on Saturday and produced two executive councils of the party.
Olujimi said, “The national executive of the party is behind the former governor. If not, why did they allow him to write the list of every delegate during the ward congresses, including those from my senatorial district?
“The caretaker committee chairman of the party in the state declined to hold the state congress, citing the crisis in the party, but the national secretariat directed the secretary of the caretaker committee to conduct the illegal congress, which he did.
“I believe that is the way the national body wants it because from the start, the congress was built to fail.”
