The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that modalities have been put in place to ensure successful ward, local government and state congresses.

This is to elect officials who will reposition the party after its dismal performance in the last general elections.

The State Chairman of the party in the state, Mr Bayo Dayo gave the hints after a meeting of party officials and supporters in Ogun State, South West Nigeria.

The meeting was one of the moves being made to bring the various factions within the party together to reposition it for victory.

The party chairman said that lessons have been learnt from the past elections and in moving forward, first in this move is the re-registration of party members from the 236 wards in the state.

This is to be followed by the subsequent ward, local government and state congresses.

Also speaking at the event, the National Auditor of the party, Fatai Adeyanju, dispelled the rumour of a rift among the party’s senior stalwarts after the emergence of its new National Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff.

He said that the new chairman remains the best man for the job.

The National Auditor canvassed support for the new PDP Chairman, saying that the initial disagreement which trailed the appointment of the new chairman has been laid to rest.
