Gboyega Isiaka, one of the governorship aspirants that won the controversial primary conducted by a faction of the Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party has described a former Speaker, House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, as an alien to politics in Ogun State.
Isiaka said that Bankole is only attempting to reap where he did not sow.
In a statement by his campaign organisation, Gboyega Nasir Isiaka Campaign Organisation, in Abeokuta, Isiaka’s statement was in reaction to Bankole’s outburst of Tuesday, where he had called the PDP governorship candidate “a fake product of an unauthorised primary election.”
Bankole did it through a group simply identified as Dimeji Bankole Movement.
Isiaka, in the statement by GNICO director of media, Ifekayode Akinbode, noted that unlike what Bankole had alleged, noted that he emerged the candidate of the party in a free and fair primary.
He advised the former Speaker and his supporters to stop hallucinating and wake up to the reality on the ground.
“It is unfortunate that the Dimeji Bankole Movement has descended to the abyss of hallucination by this offensive statement, which to all discerning mind, is a desperate attempt to break into the peaceful PDP house through the roof.
“Let it be stated that Dimeji Bankole is an alien in Ogun PDP today as he has never participated nor identified with the party in all its processes between 2011 and now, only to wake up from his deep slumber few weeks back to want to pick the biggest position on offer through the backdoor and in the process showing crass disdain for the party in Ogun state.”
Akinbode, who stressed that none of the legitimate aspirants, known to Ogun PDP, had complained about the process except Bankole, added that the primary was valid and followed all extant party and Independent National Electoral Commission guidelines.
