These, are certainly not the best of times for Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State have resolved to dump the party if anyone tries to impose candidates on them.
The party members who pose as Concerned People Frontiers (CPF), disclosed this on Monday, May 16th 2022.
The group said; “Some leaders and cabal within the party are planning to impose some aspirants over others in a consensus through kangaroo primaries in some constituencies across the state.”
“We want to use this medium to appeal to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde as the father to all in our great party, the PDP, to appeal to those planning consensus and imposition through kangaroo primaries to desist from such act.”
“Information available to us is that some cabal within the party, who have their tentacles across various constituencies are planning kangaroo primaries where genuine consensus has failed.”
“We got to know that they have perfected plan to have filled the ballot boxes with votes of their preferred candidates before the commencement of the primaries.”
“Any attempt to do that will be resisted and if they succeeded with the help of thugs, we would have no option than to dump the party.”
“We have resolved to support and rally round any aspirant that may emerge as candidate if the primaries are free, fair and follow democratic tenets.”
