Oyo PDP primaries in Lagelu, a charade that mustn’t stand – Party Chieftain
A Germany-based Ibadan-born chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Olayinka Oladimeji Segelu, has condemned the primary poll of the party held in Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State to choose its candidate for the forthcoming council election billed to take place on May 15, 2021.
In a statement issued by Segelu, he described the exercise in Lagelu as a sham, insisting that no primary election has been conducted in the Local Government.
Hon. Segelu said the result being bandied around by supporters of the man parading himself as the winner of the Lagelu primary poll was cooked up, and should therefore not be allowed to stand, while demanding for a reschedule of the exercise.

Following the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries towards producing a candidate to represent the party at the forthcoming local government election in the state, the exercise has been disrupted in Lagelu Local Government Area of the state, as one of the party chairmanship aspirants, name withheld, allegedly mobilised members of the proscribed National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to disrupt and hijack the process in the local government.
This was made known to journalists who had gone out to monitor the party’s primary held in Ibadan on Monday, shortly after the exercise was disrupted in Lagelu Local Government.
