The embattled Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Osun State chapter, Mr Olasoji Adagunodo has said that he remained the helmsman of the party since he has not been issued any official letter from the National Secretariat of the party.

 Adagunodo who made the statement in Osogbo warned that status quo ante remains because social media news which source is still shrouded in secrecy cannot be taken serious.

 It will be recalled that the National Working Committee of PDP last week suspended Adagunodo over alleged maladministration, anti-party activities and malfeasance.

 In his words: “my dear party members, leaders and the general public, I find it necessary to write you again on my purported stepping aside from the office of PDP State Chairman and state that as at the time of this release I have not received any official letter from the National Headquarters of the Party, I only read it on the social media as you all did.

 Adagunodo further stressed that nobody has been appointed as acting Chairman officially, “if any, let the person  make available the original copy of his letter of appointment upon which he intends to assume office.

 He urged PDP members in the state to ignore the purported letter in circulation as no official communication from National headquarters had reached him.

 Adagunodo advised the Nigerian Security Agencies to act promptly against any forceful attempt to take over the Osun State PDP Secretariat to avoid breakdown of law and order

 Meanwhile, the National Working Committee has appointed the State Vice Chairman, Elder Sunday Akanfe Atidade as the acting Chairman of the party.

 Atidade in his address enjoined party members to be proactive and ready to make effective decisions that will help lead the teeming army of party members across all layers of party administration and mobilisation into a strong, stable, winning position.
