Prince Oyinlola, in a statement issued on Monday in Osogbo, Osun state, said the call became necessary following what he described as sub judicial comments on the position of National Secretary of the party by some persons who claimed to have been part of the meeting.
"I have been reading some funny, sub judicial comments from some comical fellows purporting endorsement, at that meeting, of someone for a post that is subject of a case at the Supreme Court. One does not need to be a lawyer to know that it is not only futile, but contemptuous of our courts for a group of people to be making moves to overreach and undermine the justice system.
"I am quite aware, through my sources at that meeting, that claims of endorsement of any pretender by the south west are false as no decision of such was reached. I am, however, worried that the convener of that meeting, Chief Bode George, has not come out to call the characters who are making such false claims to order. I believe he should do so in the interest of the party.
"I have known Chief George over time, right from our years in the military. Although, since he came out of his recent challenges, we have not been close as we used to, I do not think his out-of-circulation experience would blunt his sense of justice, fairness and forthrightness infused in us by military training. I say these because the respected chief does not cut the picture of someone who would keep quiet in the face of falsehood as in this case when a meeting convened by him and held in his house is being misreported, " Oyinlola stated.
On those calling on him to join the campaign train of the PDP in Osun State preparatory to the August 9 governorship election, Prince Oyinlola reminded such individuals that the party said he is on suspension "and a suspended member of any organisation cannot be expected at the same time to be part of its activities."
He reiterated his earlier call that "those who went to the Supreme Court should withdraw their appeal against the Court of Appeal decision" which reinstated him as the party's National Secretary while further calling on the party to obey that verdict of the court on the post.
