A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State has warned a former chairman of the local government, Mr Sarafadeen Awotunde against acts capable of causing violence in Ikiirun, the headquarters of the local government.
The faction also called on the state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke to call Awotunde to order so as to prevent crisis in the party and the local government at large.
The faction in a statement by its spokesperson, Raimi Ololade alleged that Awotunde had polarized the party in the local government because of his own selfish ambition and interest, thereby causing trouble within the party.
Awotunde (popularly known as Spain) who claims to be the leader of the PDP in the local government was also alleged to have caused series of intra-party crisis in the party as he allegedly extort some chairmanship aspirants of the party.
He was alleged to have collected money from five chairmanship aspirants of the party, on the pretence to support their aspirations.
It would be recalled that crisis broke out at a meeting of the party stakeholders recently where some members of the party were badly injured and a former councilor hospitalized.
The faction also alleged Awotunde of extorting unsuspecting members of the party, as he allegedly uses his personal relationship with a key government functionary to boast around.
The former Council boss was also advised to learn from other leaders of the PDP in the state and the town in particular who detest violence.
