By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday, inaugurated a committee that would plan the inauguration ceremony of Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke on November 27.

The Caretaker Chairman of the party in the State, Adekunle Akindele, while inaugurating the committee charged the members to ensure that the inauguration is superb and the best in the country.

Akindele said every citizen of the state, especially members of the party would participate in the celebration, adding that as the inauguration would be going on in the capital city, members and supporters across all the local councils would also be in the mood of celebration.

He said: “The task before me is to integrate the committee that will usher in our governor. I want to charge the committee to ensure that the inauguration is superb. I want stakeholders present to know that outside Osun, a lot of people are anxious to see what will happen on that day. Many people have been asking for our preparedness for that day.

“For this inauguration, the celebration starts from now. We are just underestimating our strength in Osun. We are in millions. Decision like this, sometimes, it’s not possible to bring everyone on board, we have to streamline it to make sure that few people are brought on board. Whatever we want to do at the party level, we make sure we reach out to members at the local councils. We want to make sure that the whole state are involved across board. We have created a platform for the celebration to take place at various local government.

“Hence, we have local government inauguration committee. You can make some addition in your local government, but, whatever you do must be approved by the chairman of the committee for the purpose of budgeting.

“Give us the most memorable swearing-in in the history of the state and in Nigeria.”

Akindele warned members of the party against indiscipline, saying, “we need to instill discipline in the party. Discipline is key. We are able to achieve what we are able to achieve because the leadership of the party instilled discipline.

“The party won’t shy away from sanctioning any member who derails from the core values of the party.”

The committee is chaired by Bunni Jenyo while the secretary is Hashim Abioye.

Other members include Chief Mrs Dupe Adeleke- Sanni, Sunday Bisi as Chairman, venue and accomodation; Diran Odeyemi, Chairman Media, Publicity and Entertainment, Lere Oyewumi, chairman, Budget and Procurement, Kazeem Akinleye, Chairman, Security, Muyiwa Oladimeji, Chairman Medical, Bamidele Salam, chairman, liason and Niyi Owolabi among others.
