Factional members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State have accused Governor Seyi Makinde of not being sincere with the reconciliation of aggrieved PDP members in the state.
The PDP members in a statement by the factional Chairman of the party, Honourable Michael Okunlade made available to journalists in Ibadan on Monday tasked the governor to do the needful and stop paying continuous lip service to reconciliation of aggrieved members.
According to the Oyo PDP factional Chairman, Governor Makinde ” knows what to do, if truly he is interested in resolving crisis within the party in Oyo state”, adding that the
” Why is Governor Makinde playing lip service to reconciliation of aggrieved members when he knew he was not ready for it. Many of us have achieved great feats in politics before he join politics”, he said.
The PDP factional Chairman added, ” we read the statement credited to the governor with surprise and shock. His guilty conscience showed in the statement he issued through his chief press secretary, Taiwo Adisa. We advise him to do the needful rather than beating around the bush”.
Honourable Okunlade stressed thatit was ” laughable and sounded unserious for Governor Makinde to woo aggrieved APC members to his party while he couldn’t resolve the crisis in his own party”.
The factional Chairman then advised the governor to stop taking leaders and members of the party for fools, saying, ” we have never had it so bad in PDP since 1999 until we brought stranger like Governor Makinde to fly the tickets of our party. Fortunately for us in the state, PDP members and indeed the people of the state are smarter than what the governor could imagine.”
