Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde Concludes PDP Defection Plans

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has reportedly finalized his plans to defect from the People's Democratic Party (PDP). He has instructed party aspirants in Oyo State not to obtain forms, indicating a significant shift in his political alignment.

This development follows the recent defection of Bauchi State Governor Mohammed, who announced his move on a Saturday and described it as a serious consultation with political stakeholders. The context of these defections is underscored by a Supreme Court judgment that has left the PDP leadership in dispute, creating uncertainty within the party.

Makinde's departure from the PDP is currently uncertain, as he is also considering resigning from his cabinet positions. His Chief Press Secretary, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, has dismissed speculation regarding the governor's defection plans, noting that Makinde has not explicitly mentioned any intentions to defect.
