The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said that the coalition party is not a threat to the Peoples Democratic Party.
He recently revealed that the party remains united and undivided in the South-West.
Speaking with newsmen in Ibadan, Makinde shared that PDP is an institution that cannot be threatened by talks about any coalition.
According to him, PDP leaders in the South-West have agreed to come together and resolve their differences because unity will go a long way towards proving the party remains the only credible political alternative for Nigerians.
He stated that the people creating the current coalition were in some parties before, and their antecedents are nothing to write home about.
“We want the whole world to know that the PDP in the South-West is united and we are together and that the coalition is not a threat to the PDP.
Who are these people in this coalition? They were in some parties before, whether the PDP or the APC. What are their antecedents? Does it mean that anytime they move from one party to the other, they have repented or they have something new to offer the people? These are salient questions.
This Soji Adagunodo House is for the PDP South-West. If the roof is leaking, as leaders of the PDP in the South-West, are we going to abandon the building and go somewhere else to take refuge? No,” he said.
Makinde further noted that he won’t be defecting from PDP anytime soon; instead, he’ll remain at the party and fix it like a responsible leader should.
He concluded by saying that PDP has its way of dealing with issues, and Nigerians can rest assured that the storm is over.
“We will stay inside here and fix it to let the people know that we are responsible leaders and we have the interest of the people at heart.
So, a lot of people can say whatever they like, but in a party like the PDP, which is an institution, we have our own ways and means of dealing with such issues. When we get to the point where we have to deal with such issues, I give you the assurance that we will,” he added.
