Secondus said , “ There is no crises at all in South West PDP . When there is an election anywhere in the world and you have one or two people contesting for positions, there are bound to be misunderstandings . But as soon as the election is conducted, whoever emerges as the candidate , or as the winner , all others will rally round him .
“ As far as we are concerned , nobody is planning to decamp among the warring parties and inasmuch as that is not happening , we will continue to talk among ourselves and if it is by election , we will go for the election peacefully , whoever emerges we will all embrace and come back together .”
In an interview with newsmen shortly after the event , the Osun PDP chairman , Sunday Bisi , admitted that there were internal issues within the party but said such issues were being addressed.
