Leaders
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the ward level in Ife Central
Senatorial District in Osun State have finally spoken, authenticating
the membership of the Director, Media and Publicity, Goodluck Jonathan
Campaign organisation during the 2015 general elections, Femi
Fani-Kayode in the party.
Addressing newsmen in Ile-Ife town
in Osun State, Chairman of the Party in Iremo Ward 5 Ile-ife, Rasheed
Ojikutu said that Fani-Kayode is not only a bonafide member of PDP but
also a forthright leader of the party.
The Ward
Chairman confirmed that Femi Fani Kayode was issued a PDP membership
card from Ward 5 Iremo, Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State
in April 2014, following his defection from the APC.
Ojikutu
and other party leaders expressed dismay that despite the contributions
of Fani-Kayode during the presidential race, the National Working
Committee of the party is seeking disciplinary action against him, for
joining others in calling for the resignation of the NWC.
Mr
Ojikutu assured other party members at the ward and national level of
their readiness to stand by Mr Fani-Kayode in proving the authenticity
of his membership.
The National Secretary of PDP, Prof. Wale
Oladipupo, had earlier in the week sent a letter to the Osun State
chapter of the party, requesting that the authenticity of the membership
and the financial status of Mr Fani-Kayode be confirmed.
