Makinde: Southern PDP Leaders Have Taken Far-reaching Decision on State of Party

Southern PDP leaders, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, have made significant decisions regarding the state of the party. The leaders met in preparation for the upcoming national convention in Ibadan, where they discussed key issues such as party leadership and zoning.

Makinde emphasized the importance of wider consultations and inclusivity within the party, aiming to bring stakeholders together to strengthen the PDP. The meeting was attended by prominent figures like Governor Douye Diri and former Senate President Adolphus Wabara.

However, some state chairmen and other stakeholders disowned a separate meeting held in Lagos, labeling it as illegal and lacking consensus. The Southern PDP members are focused on rebuilding the party and presenting a credible alternative to Nigerians, with discussions around the next presidential candidate and party unity at the forefront.
