Adeniran denies being part of Fresh PDP

One of the defeated chairmanship candidates at the recent People’s Democratic Party (PDP) national convention, Tunde Adeniran, has disowned a splinter group of the party call Fresh PDP.

Adeniran, who made this known through the Director of his Campaign Organisation, Shehu Garban, in Abuja, stated that anybody who had genuine grievances was free to express them but cautioned that his principal should not be linked to the group.

Speaking on the presence of a member of his campaign team in the aggrieved group, the former minister said he did not send anyone to the group.

“We do not know them. They don’t represent us and we have nothing to do with them. Whoever is there doesn’t represent us,” he added.

Fresh PDP is known with about five men, and on Wednesday, ‘opened’ a parallel secretariat for the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party, in Abuja.

The five men are Obi Nwosu, Hassan Adamu, Olusola Akindele, Godwin Duru and Franklyne Edede.

Only two flags of the party are taped to the burglary of the building to indicate that it is a party office.

The Independent National Electoral Commission recognised the national headquarters of the party is located at Wuse, Zone 5, Abuja.

Nwosu, who is the leader of the five-man faction, said that members of the National Working Committee of his group would be announced in January next year.

According to Nwosu, the “Fresh PDP” is “emerging due to the imposition of a unity list on members on December 9, 2017.”

He said that his group was not happy with the outcome of the national convention which produced the new national officers for the party.
