The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, has thrown its weight behind the Oyo State Governor , Mr. Seyi Makinde -led South West leadership of the party.
The decision of the party members in Ondo State , was contained in a statement titled , “ Ondo PDP is united and in full support of the leadership of Gov Seyi Makinde , ” signed by the State PDP Publicity Secretary , Mr . Kennedy Peretei , in Akure, on Tuesday .
He issued the statement after a meeting of party leaders in Akure, the state capital. The party commended Governor Makinde for holding a successful party congress in Ibadan , a few weeks ago .
The statement read in part , “ We recognise and support Seyi Makinde , Governor of Oyo State as the leader of PDP in the South -West , being the highest political office holder in the zone .
“ As Chairman of the National Campaign Council for the Ondo 2020 Governorship Elections , Governor Seyi Makinde , did not only make himself available for the election , he stood with us throughout the campaigns and the election .
“ Ondo State PDP is not made up of ingrates , but a crop of mature and resourceful leaders who can read in between the lines . We do not want to be dragged into the chess pool of over – ambitious persons who wish to create factions in the PDP family with the sole aim of leading such a faction to join the sinking boat of the All Progressives Congress.
“ The meddlesome interlopers from neighbouring states fanning embers of disunity should stay clear of Ondo state . They are only feathering their nests . We encourage them to put their house in order . ”
