A NON-GOVERNMENTAL Organisation (NGO) - Oranmiyan Group Worldwide, has urged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest to be honest and patriotic in their criticism of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) –controlled states.
The Groups’ President, Prince Felix Awofisayo, in a statement on yesterdaday, expressed shock at the various allegations from the PDP, particularly against the Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State.
He counselled the PDP leadership to apply ‘decorum’ in their quest to rescue the daily dwindling fortune of their party in the geo-political zone.
He decried the “low intellectual and uncivilised” approaches to criticism of the party’s National Vice Chairman in the Southwest, Segun Oni, about the developments in Osun State.
Faulting Oni’s allegation that Aregbesola was planning secession, Awofisayo, recalled that Oni, during his tenure as governor in Ekiti, also created an identity for the state, an intention, he said was not misconstrued by the CAN. He alleged the Oni administration created a new Coat of Arms, a new flag and anthem for Ekiti state with a slogan “New Begining... Greater Future.”
Prince Awofisayo, who asked Oni to explain whether his action then was a secession plan, urged the PDP to stop being jittery over their “continued rejection by the people of the Southwest going by the dismal performance at the last general elections.”
