The publicity secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Taofeek Gani has said that the closed door meeting with the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, at the weekend, was to strategise on the 2015 governorship election in the state and not about the rumoured dissolution of the Tunji Shelle-led state executive.

Mr Gani disclosed this to newsmen, adding that Tukur and the national leadership re-assured the party of the support ahead of the 2015 governorship election. According to him, the meeting was attended by state executives of the PDP, leaders and members of the South-West caretaker committee of the party.

His words: “Hitherto, there were speculations that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP had dissolved the Tunji Shelle-led state executive due to alleged factional interests… The national chairman’s visit and presence of party leaders in the state like the former Minister for Works, Chief Seye Ogunlewe, has vindicated the state excutive that the status quo is intact and that the party remains united in Lagos,” he stated.

According to Gani, the national chairman charged the party leaders to remain united and ensure that aggrieved members who might have left the party in the past were brought back into its fold. Meanwhile, the state chapter of the PDP has given a three-day ultimatum to Governor Raji Fashola to apologise to Lagosians for ridiculing the state before the Federal Government and international community on the issue of the good governance tour.
