The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Oyo State may come to an end sooner than expected as arrangements have been concluded by the leaders of the party in the state as Governor Seyi Makinde to meet with the leaders of the aggrieved members of the party. Pacesetter news has learnt.
It was gathered that Makinde who travelled to Abuja on Sunday morning will have a roundtable meeting with former House of Representatives leader, Hon. Mulikat Akande-Adeola and a three term and current serving House of Representatives member, Hon. Ajibola Muraina together with the national leadership of the party this new week to harmonise and share positions among the two factions in the state as the party had its congress in the 351 wards on Saturday.
It should be recalled that Makinde appealed to the aggrieved members on Saturday to give remove for resolution.
One of the leaders of the party in the state who had since pitched his tent with the aggrieved camp said the harmonization arrangement placed before the aggrieved camp by Governor Makinde is acceptable because it will reflect the ‘will and wish’ of the majority of members of the party in the state.
The party chieftain who didn’t want his name mentioned explained that the arrangement for the sharing of party executive members in the state will put an end to the internal crisis that had engulfed the party for close to two years.
Another stalwart of the party loyal to Governor Makinde’s group affirmed that talks had begun between the Governor and the aggrieved members to harmonize positions. According to her, the Governor is willing to accede to their demands just for unity to rein in the party.
This online platform further learnt that Seyi Makinde and Hon. Mulikat Akande spoke on the phone on Saturday after the ward congress. The trio will meet in Abuja before the National Working Committee of the party to ratify the ward congress list and thereafter publish names of the ward executive members.
