We are more concerned about rebuilding our party, that is what is important now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-chairman added that, \u201cFayose has been kind enough to demonstrate that he is not a loyal PDP member.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has been kind enough to manifestly show that he will undo the party in the next governorship election. He has indicated that he is for the opposition in the next election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe declared at every fora that the current Governor, Abayomi Oyebanji should continue for another four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as we are concerned, if such a person is again complaining that he is not included in the future development of the PDP, you see that it is self contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want us to commit blunder by bringing in a spy or an enemy into our strategic planning, the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who set up the caretaker committee have taken a lot of things into consideration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the new caretaker committee, Oguntuase said the timely composition of the committee would help loyal and committed members to focus on rebuilding the party for future elections in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe caretaker committee headed by Lanre Adeleke will encourage those of us who are committed to rebuilding the party and even working across political parties to see that we gain more people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy they have set up caretaker committees in all the local governments. This will encourage us to start having a lot of activities,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
