Former governor of Ogun State, Chief Gbenga Daniel, has said that he was not part of the misfortune that befell the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West in the last general election.
Daniel, in a statement signed by his Media Assistant, Adegbenro Adebanjo on Sunday was apparently making veil reference to a statement credited to the party's National Vice-Chairman in the zone, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, that the former governor was responsible for the woeful performance of the party in the elections especially in Ogun State.
He said that those who actually contributed directly or indirectly to the misfortune of the party were now blaming others for their misadventure.
The statement said, "It is actually an irony that these persons who by their actions and inaction were solely responsible for the poor showing of the party could have the effrontery to blame others for their misadventure.
"Under their watch, the party rose from number one in the zone to number zero not just at the elections but in terms of national political appointments in the country. Rather than advancing the cause of the party at every turn they place personal gains and primordial sentiments above the collective good of the generality of party members."
He wondered why the so called national officers of the party in the zone resolved to fan ember of discord among party members rather than promoting the interest of the party.
"They were always ready to dine with the devil if that would help destroy their perceived opponents within the party. In spite of their vantage position as national officers of the party, they were never involved in the resolution of crisis but were actually responsible for stoking the embers of disunity within the party," he said.
