PDP Crisis: We will not lie to Nigerians if you fail to do the right thing — Makinde tells Atiku


Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has maintained his position and that of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, that the party's embattled National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, will have to resign his position if at all, the party is serious about winning next year's presidential election. 

Although Makinde dismissed any ill will toward the National Chairman, he however, made it clear that the party has promised to fixed the damages done by the ruling party's 8 years in power, but cannot win the trust of the public if there's imbalance in the party itself.

He said the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, cannot claim to be a unifier if he cannot see the injustice in the party.

Makinde, disclosed this at the South-West PDP stakeholders meeting with the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

In his opening remarks at the meeting, Makinde said, “The truth is that we do not have any issue either with our party or our candidate. If there are challenges they must be tabled. We are supposed to give hope to our people, we want them to listen to us.

“Our party wants to rescue Nigeria and our candidate is a unifier. He wants to restructure Nigeria Eight years of the All Progressives Congress have left us sharply divided. The issue is we must practice what we preach. If we want to unify Nigeria, we must unify the PDP first.

“If we want to restructure Nigeria, we must have the willingness to bring inclusivity to the PDP. Do we have the capacity? The answer is resounding yes. The message from the South-West PDP is the South-West is asking that the National Working Committee of the PDP should be restructured. We are asking the National Chairman to step down so that the South will be fully included. That is the message.”
