THE aggrieved Ward 9 members of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Burutu Local Government Area, Delta State, have called on Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and the leadership of the party to dissolve the ward’s Executive Committee over alleged imposition of the executive.

Mr. Godday Smith, who spoke yesterday on behalf of the aggrieved party members, said the appeal, if not addressed, would escalate the division generated by the situation in a manner likely to threaten the party chances at the coming October council polls in the state.

He said: “The Burutu Ward 9 executive is not truly representative of Gbekebou, Ofoinibaiyan, Ogbeingbene, Agbedebiri, and Egoudo communities, which form the ward. Few persons unilaterally imposed their brothers and cronies without ward congress, which is against PDP’s constitution.

“The same self-styled leaders now want to impose unpopular candidates on the party for the October council polls. This is unacceptable.

“We challenge the state PDP leadership and the Burutu council boss to correct the anomaly by conducting proper congress for a new executive before we begin to talk of delegates and candidates for the coming elections.”
