THE crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West Zone has deepened as members of the Caretaker Committee have dissociated themselves from a statement credited to the chairman of the committee, Mr Dayo Ogungbenro, on who should be the leader of the party in the zone. The letter titled “situation report about PDP South-West Zonal Caretaker Committee”, dated August 10, which was addressed to the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, was signed by seven members of the caretaker committee. The letter reads in part: “We refer to the press statement issued by the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Mr Dayo Ogungbenro and immediately dissociate ourselves from him because he is not acting on behalf of South West Caretaker Committee members of the party. “We further condemn the content and context of the said statement on account of its puerile and narrow perspective which immediately betray the ignorance of our Zonal Caretaker Chairman on how to run the party. “It is pertinent to put on record that Dayo Adegbenro, our Caretaker Committee Chairman is incompetent and lacks the required skill and tact to manage the party.
