The loyalists of the former governor of Oyo state, Senator Rashidi Ladoja have described the rumour making round that he has rejoined the party as false and misleading.
The loyalists of the former governor in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday in Ibadan, the state capital urged the public to disregard the claim.
The group who are former members of the Zenith Labour Party in Oyo state through their leader, Comrade Wole Abisoye, told the newsnen after its meeting that Ladoja is no longer a card carrying member of any political party but remain a father figure to every politician in the state and nationwide.
“We are through this medium call on the public to disregard the claim making round that our reverred
High Chief Otun Olubadan, Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja has directed his political family to join the Accord Party,” the statement reads in part.
According to Abisoye, the group during the meeting of its stakeholders across the 33 Local Government Areas of the state, warned people to desist from spreading rumour capable of causing confusion and tarnishing the good names of Senator Ladoja.
“Chief Ladoja is no longer a partisan politician but acts as father for anybody that seeks for his advise. He has never involved in resurrecting the hitherto inactive and deadhood party,” he added.
In a related development, the group also appealed to the good people of Oyo state to join hands with Governor Seyi Makinde to move the state forward.
They pledged to work towards the governor’s second term bid and also to ensure that all the candidates for elective posts of the PDP in the 2023 general elections emerge victorious.
The group also congratulated Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for emerging the presidential candidate of their party PDP, urging him to carry every stakeholder along to ensure success of the party in the 2023 general elections
