PDP postpones registration exercise in Osun

Alhaji Gani Ola-Oluwa, the Chairman of the PDP in  Osun,  said on Thursday that the party had postponed its membership registration exercise.

Ola-Oluwa told  the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo that a new date for the exercise would soon be communicated to members.

NAN reports that the party had earlier announced that it would commence registration of members across the state last Monday.

“The party decided to shift the registration of members due to increased political activities.

“When it is time to register our members,  we shall let them know because we are of the belief that membership and voters registration are vital to a successful election.

“As a party, the PDP is not interested in disrupting the peace of the state, therefore we will soon find a suitable period to conduct our registration,’’ Ola-Oluwa said.

Meanwhile,  the registration exercise for members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) continued  in Osun on Thursday.

NAN reports that the rush observed on Wednesday at centres in Osogbo had given way to more orderly queues.

Mr Yemi Ojiwusi, the Registration Officer at Unit 19, Ward 5, Osogbo Local Government, said she registered 76 members on Wednesday.

Another Registration Officer at Unit 20, Ward 5, Osogbo, Mr Issa Idowu,  said he registered 90 members on Wednesday.

NAN recalls  that Mr Kunle Oyatomi, APC’s Director of  Publicity in Osun,  had said there were enough materials to register all  residents who turned out for the exercise.

Oyatomi  said that the party’s feedback machinery was in motion to ensure orderliness. (NAN)
