Makinde demands resignation of National chairman
Seyi Makinde, The Oyo State Governor, has for the sake of the people of the South, demanded the resignation of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
This call was made at the South-West PDP stakeholders meeting with the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
He said, “The truth is that we do not have any issue either with our party or our candidate. If there are challenges they must be tabled.”
“We are supposed to give hope to our people, we want them to listen to us. Our party wants to rescue and reconstruct Nigeria and our candidate is a unifier.
“Eight years of the All Progressives Congress have left us sharply divided. The issue is we must practice what we preach. If we want to unify Nigeria, we must unify the PDP first.
“If we want to restructure Nigeria, we must have the willingness to bring inclusivity to the PDP. Do we have the capacity? The answer is resounding yes.
“The message from the South-West PDP is the South-West is asking that the National Working Committee of the PDP should be restructured.
“We are asking the National Chairman to step down so that the South will be fully included. That is the message.”
