Hon. Olatunde Bello Moves to Reposition Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Amuwo Odofin Amid Growing Internal Concerns
The Convener of the G20 Political Movement in Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency and Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, Hon. Olatunde Bello, has commenced wide-ranging consultations aimed at restructuring and repositioning the party for greater unity, discipline, and electoral competitiveness.
According to sources within the party, the initiative comes at a critical time when many members and stakeholders have expressed concerns over recent developments that they believe have weakened cohesion within the party structure in the local government. Hon. Bello is said to be engaging ward executives, youth leaders, women groups, party elders, and grassroots coordinators to strengthen internal democracy, improve communication, and restore confidence among members ahead of future political engagements.
Speaking during one of the consultations, Hon. Bello reportedly reaffirmed that political parties can only achieve sustainable success when collective interests take precedence over personal ambitions.
“The strength of any political party lies in its unity, discipline, inclusiveness, and commitment to the people. Our responsibility is to rebuild confidence, strengthen our structures, and ensure that every member has a sense of belonging,” he stated.
The restructuring initiative is understood to have been prompted by growing dissatisfaction among some members regarding the recent actions and leadership style of the party’s prominent figures, Hon. George Adegeye Olawande, Representative for Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency and Hon. Stella Osafile, Member representing Amuwo Odofin Constituency 1. Some stakeholders allege that these actions have contributed to internal divisions and reduced confidence among party members.
While these concerns have been raised by sections of the party, Hon. Bello has consistently advocated dialogue, reconciliation, and institutional reforms rather than personal attacks, emphasizing that the party’s long-term success depends on collective responsibility and respect for its constitution.
Political observers within Amuwo Odofin believe the intervention by the G20 Convener could provide an opportunity for the NDC to address internal challenges, strengthen its grassroots base, and reposition itself as a more formidable political platform within the constituency.
Supporters of the initiative have described Hon. Bello as a grassroots mobilizer with extensive experience in community engagement, expressing optimism that the restructuring process will enhance party discipline, improve coordination across wards, and attract new members.
As consultations continue, party faithful have been encouraged to participate constructively in the reform process and place the interests of the party and the people of Amuwo Odofin above individual considerations.
