Olujumi Vows To Tear PDP Apart If Fayose Alters PDP Ward Congress Results

Senator Biodun Olujumi has vowed to tear the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to shreds if the immediate past governor of the state is allowed to write the results of the ward congresses that held on Saturday.

Senator Olujumi who incidentally served as deputy to Fayose in his first term alleged a plan by Fayose in cahoots with the electoral committee sent by the national secretariat to change the mind of the electorate.

She spoke after the deputy governor of Taraba State, Mr. Haruna Manu arrived the state after the ward congresses had allegedly been conducted. He was said to have requested that the congresses be done again in the night, a request Olujumi said was a ploy by Fayose to rig the results that had earlier been produced.

She said that the elections conduced were monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agents and as such saw no reason why another round should be conducted.

According to her, “The party had asked that there should be a congress in our ward today(Saturday) which was scheduled to take place at 8 am.  We find out that INEC, DSS , Police and other relevant agencies were on ground and results dully signed and everybody dispatched at about 12noon.

“But the deputy governor of Taraba State who is the chairman of the electoral panel came rather too late at about 3:15 and went ahead with the normal protocols at the Government House to show his presence. He came into the party secretariat at about 4pm.

“He said  that because he just come that the congress has to be re-done and we were wondering why it will be re- done when INEC had signed and everybody had gone home. We suspected that some people has compromised.

“Let me say it to people , we will not take it, it will not happen except litigation and of course we tear the party apart, which I pray it doesn’t happen. Why does the former governor want to win at all cost, except something is wrong. People had voted, why must you want to control the ward for the people?

“It is very wrong, it is not right that party congresses are conducted at night. If there is no reason, there is nothing say we can’t do it tomorrow (Sunday) or Monday. It is not compulsory that the chairman of electoral panel should be here before the election as long as we have the INEC officials around.

“They want to go and write results and announce it but we won’t allow it. I believe the National leadership of our party will not allow this because we all saw what happened recently in some states as regards litigations.”

Fayose speaking through his spokesman, Lere Olayinka dismissed the allegations.
