The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Sunday accused a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, of attempting to cut corners in securing the party’s ticket for the 2015 governorship election.

State Chairman of the party, Dayo Bayo, told journalists at the party secretariat located along Presidential Boulevard, Abeokuta, that he was not aware of Bankole’s ambition.

He said the party had observed that Mr. Bankole was not ready to follow due process, rather, wished to cut corners.

“I’m still saying that I am not aware that Dimeji Bankole is contesting the governorship in Ogun State”, Mr. Dayo said.

“The money we are using to run this party is enormous. Some people have been doing that for years.

“Somebody cannot just say because he has been to Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford, he’s coming to lead us overnight. It’s not going to happen.

“So, if you are contesting you must come to the state secretariat and obtain an Expression of Interest form.
