The Governor of Oyo State Engr Seyi Makinde, a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday boycotted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign rally held by Atiku Abubakar in Ibadan, the state capital.
Penpushing reports that it is recalled that Makinde and four other Governors under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been at loggerhead with the party leadership as result of the emergence of Iyorchia Ayu as national chairman
The aggrieved five Governors are demanding the resignation of Ayu, as a condition to support Atiku’s presidential ambition, arguing that by political structures and arrangement he (Ayu) does not deserve to be national chairman of the party.
Penpushing further reports that Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, while addressing the rally, expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate will be victorious in all the six South-west states in the election.
“I have seen the high level of turnout and goodwill the PDP enjoys across Yorubaland. This was demonstrated in Osun State when I was massively voted into office. The light of grace started in Osun and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is spreading it to all parts of South West and Nigeria,” he said.
“Yorubas will support Atiku/Okowa candidacy because he is the most experienced, most tested, and the most stable to protect the interests of all Nigerians. Yorubas want an all-inclusive Nigeria and only Atiku can deliver on that. Osun State will vote PDP. Same for Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, and Lagos states. Atiku’s blueprint is the only one that can take Nigeria out of the wood”, Adeleke boasted.”
“Next month is around the corner. Vote PDP at all levels. Secure your future. Osun people have shown the template. We must copy Osun State. Osun State hosts the cradle of Yorubaland and Osun is now PDP enjoying rule of law, due process, and good governance.
Penpushing also reports that Atiku, and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, were accompanied to the rally by five state Governors which include Aminu Tambuwa(Sokoto)l, Ademola Adeleke(Osun), Godwin Obaseki(Edo), and Udom Emmanuel(Akwa Ibom).
Meanwhile, in same vein, national leaders of the party that attended the rally include former Vice President Namadi Sambo, the wife of the presidential candidate, Titi Abubakar, and a former federal lawmaker from Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye.
