A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) group in Oyo state, PDP Vanguard on Monday threatened to work against the governorship ambition of Governor Seyi Makinde in the March 11 elections.
The group in a statement by its Coordinator Engr. Akeem Adeyemi said its members had decided to work for emergence of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Teslim Folarin in the Saturday polls.
According to PDP Vanguard, its members reportedly resolved to work against the second term ambition of Governor Makinde based on the fact that the governor allegedly “did not work for the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar” in the February 25 presidential election
PDP Vanguard in the statement stressed that aside allegedly working against party’s candidates, it noted that selfishness of Governor Makinde in the last four years has crippled the party in the state.
“Its surprising that Makinde could expect us to work for his second term ambition when he arrogantly and deliberately ignored many warnings to support our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. We can’t stay in the same party with such a person”, it said.
“We, therefore, warn him and his co-travelers to be careful of their sponsored propaganda against Senator Teslim Folarin whom we have had a working relationship with while in our party”.
