Makinde Addresses PDP Challenges Amid Defections

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), spoke about the party's current challenges, highlighting that only two governors remain in the PDP following recent defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This statement came after Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal announced his resignation from the PDP.

Makinde addressed party members during a meeting of the Board of Trustees (BoT) in Abuja on Tuesday, downplaying concerns about the defections and expressing confidence that the current crisis would eventually resolve. He assured attendees that the public would recognize the party's commitment to democracy in Nigeria.

Makinde also mentioned the importance of finding solutions to the ongoing turmoil, referencing a recent appeal court judgment that could allow the party to regroup and move forward effectively.
