As 2019 general elections draw near, scores of members of the Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), converged weekend to pray for the unity and victory of the party in the forthcoming poll.
The special prayer which took place at Ile Karatu, Alanamu area of Ilorin West local government was attended by prominent members of the party from the three Senatorial districts of the state.
Although members of the state executive were absent at the meeting, the state Chairman of PDP, Iyiola Oyedepo confirmed it was held with the knowledge of the state executives.
An llorin-based Islamic scholar, Abdulmunini Ambali-Ubandawaki who led the session prayed for peace and unity among members of the party.
In his remarks, the Coordinator of the forum, Kayode Apo represented by Lai Karatu said the aim of the group wasย to serve as the voice of the voiceless youths in the state.
Apo said the forum would ensure that the party elders in the state speak withย one voice for the progress andย victory of PDP in 2019.
Recall that the crisis brewing in the state chapter of the party was renewed following the last congress that produced Iyiola Oyedepo as the PDP Chairman in Kwara State.
Prince Sunday Fagbemi who also contested for the chairmanship seat alleged that the election was not free and fair adding that there was over voting in some positions.
But, after series of petitions to the leadership of the party in Abuja to nullify the congress, Oyedepo was affirmed.
