PDP Leadership Intervenes As Makinde, Fayose Feud Deepens by hisexcellency34: 6:43am On Dec 21, 2020
The feud between Gov­ernor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State, has further deepened the crisis in the South-West chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is making reconcil­iation of aggrieved members a herculean task, Daily Inde­pendent has gathered.

Findings by our correspon­dent revealed that the duo had been at loggerheads over the control of the party in the zone.

Fayose has been at logger­heads with Governor Ma­kinde over the latter’s role in Ekiti PDP crisis as well as the leadership of the party in the South-West. Chairmen of the party in Ekiti, Osun, Ogun and Lagos states have aligned with Fayose, while the PDP chairmen in Oyo and Ondo states took sides with Makinde.
Sources in the party said in line with the party’s con­stitution, Makinde, as the only PDP governor in the South-West, is the leader of the party and should be giv­en preference when decisions regarding the party are to be taken.

He also has the responsi­bility of organising the party and leading the assault for the reclaiming of other South- West states from the All Pro­gressives Congress (APC).
However, the Fayose camp opposed Makinde’s alleged interference in the affairs of Ekiti PDP. According to them, the Oyo governor who sees Fayose as a threat is doing everything possible to take the control of the party from him and hand it over to Sena­tor Abiodun Olujimi.

The crisis escalated on November 11 when a zonal faction, led by Governor Ma­kinde, set up the reconcilia­tion committee headed by a former Osun State governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Ibadan, which is expected to bring together aggrieved fac­tions of the party in the zone.

Two days later, the faction led by Fayose also set up a par­allel zonal reconciliation com­mittee headed by Engr. Femi Babalola. Other members of the committee are Chief Kolapo Ogunjobi, Ahmed Okandeji Mustapha, Chief Idowu Odeyemi and Chief Tunde Akindehin.

Speaking with Daily Inde­pendent, Lere Olayinka, the South-West Zonal Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP, alleged that Gover­nor Makinde is deliberately fueling rebellion in the party through his undue interfer­ence in the affairs of the state chapters.

He said, “There is really no crisis in the real sense of it. Rather, what is playing out in the party is the struggle for control, which is normal in any human organisation. It is majorly about someone arrogating to himself a kind of power that he does not have. When you are from La­gos and you want to control the organs of the PDP in my local council in Ekiti, there will definitely be resistance and that’s exactly what is happening in the zone.

“To me, it is nothing to be worried about because in PDP the moment the issue of the party organs is settled, every­one will fall in line. It has hap­pened in Ekiti before. In 2012, when we had 318 and 310, the group whose candidate won the state chairmanship with 318 votes went on to take all the State Exco positions. The other group, whose candidate got 310 votes, did not get a sin­gle member of the State Exco. Two years after, PDP won the governorship election over­whelmingly”.

Speaking further, Olay­inka said, “The truth is that Governor Makinde chose to interfere particularly in the party issues in Ekiti, Osun and Ogun states. As the only governor that we have in the South-West, he can intervene. But instead of intervening, he chose to interfere, and as ex­pected, there was resistance from these states.

“For instance, in Ekiti State, he unilaterally made a formula for sharing local government and State Excos. He presented a proposal that all the six local government chairmen in Ekiti South Senatorial District be given to Senator Biodun Olujimi. That is a Senatorial District where we have two imme­diate past House of Reps members and the 2018 gov­ernorship candidate, Kolapo Olusola-Eleka.

“Then, he went further to propose that in Ekiti Cen­tral where former Governor Ayo Fayose and people like us are from, Olujimi should produce the party’s secretary in the five local government areas. And he was told clear­ly that in Ekiti PDP, we don’t have culture of sharing party positions, it has always been winner takes all. Eventually, we had our congresses in Ekiti and elected Excos at the wards, local government areas and state levels were ratified by the NEC.

“But contrary to the de­cisions of the party at the national level, Governor Makinde chose to invite a self-appointed state chair­man of the party to meetings in Ibadan. So, to us in Ekiti, the governor is deliberately fuelling rebellion and you don’t expect us to be clapping for him”.

However, responding to Olayinka’s claim, Engr. Akeem Olatunji, the Oyo State PDP Publicity Secre­tary, said the problem was because Fayose refused to ac­cept the fact that Makinde, as the only governor of the PDP in the South-West is the lead­er of the party in the zone.

Olatunji, who described Olayinka as an impersonator, said he is illegally parading himself as the zonal publicity director of the PDP, adding that the position does not ex­ist in the party.

“Lere Olayinka used to be the spokesperson for the for­mer governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose. He is not an offi­cial of PDP as far as we are concerned. Who made him South-West zonal director of media and publicity? He just arrogated the position to himself.

“He is an impersonator and what he has done is crim­inal in nature. It is criminal of him to be parading him­self as the South-West zonal director of media and public­ity because there is no such position in the hierarchy of the PDP in South-West. The public should just disregard him and the law enforcement agencies should take note of this act of impersonation.

“Lere Olayinka and his paymaster have been warned to desist from fanning the embers of discord in PDP because we believe that they have ulterior motive for doing that. They have a second op­tion if they are expelled from PDP unlike Governor Seyi Makinde who has no other home aside the PDP. He is a member of PDP as long as the party is in existence unlike Lere’s paymaster who will praise Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who happens to be running for presidency in APC in the day and be claiming member­ship of APC at night.

“As far as we are con­cerned, Governor Makinde is only interested in a viable PDP that can win election. He wants other states in the South-West to benefit from the method that was used by the PDP in Oyo State. As far as the South-West PDP led by Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro, the Caretaker Chairman of PDP in South-West is concerned, he and his members have al­ready set up a reconciliation team led by Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola to reconcile all our aggrieved members.

“All the anti-party activi­ties that Lere Olayinka and his paymaster are exhibiting should be curtailed by the na­tional leadership. These peo­ple do not even have respect for the reconciliation team set up by the national leadership to reconcile aggrieved mem­bers throughout the nation.

“When Fayose was the governor, everybody accord­ed him respect, including Oyo PDP. But we don’t know why it is difficult for him to accord Governor Makinde the due respect as the PDP leader in South-West. Makinde is not interfering in the running of the affairs of the PDP in any of the states, including Oyo. He allows us to operate the way we want in Oyo State not to talk of all other states”.

When contacted, Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the par­ty, said the national leadership of the party has already inter­vened in the disagreement be­tween the two leaders through the national reconciliation committee headed by former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

“If you recall, the party constituted a national recon­ciliation and strategic com­mittee headed by former Sen­ate President Bukola Saraki. The responsibility of the com­mittee is to look at all areas of disagreements within the party and reconcile aggrieved members".

For Fayose faction to enjoy the support of 4 SW state chapters of the party in the region ( Ekiti, Osun, Ogun and Lagos) as opposed to Makinde's two (Oyo and Ondo), then Makinde should swallow his pride and retrace his steps for the benefit of the party in the region.

I am currently designing a two seater aircraft that will be built with 90% aluminum products... Do you know that 12 million can build an aircraft capable of carrying 1200 kg as gross weight.. if we use this aircraft for courier.. charging @ 50 naira/kg per hour it'll take to reach the receiving location... Meaning that on aircraft carrying bags of 10 bags of 100kg of garri.. you have 50,000 per trip of 1hr... Let's say 15k goes to the operating cost of each flight.. the remaining 35k is profit.. and if you have two airplanes that make 5° 1hr trips a day, you are sure of at least 30k 5 times.. this is counting out how much you will make from general waybill were someone will send a light package.. you can choose to charge 1500naira per parcel.. the rules of waybill business says that the lesser the weight and space packages carry. The more money you will make as more space means more things to fill it up. and if the pilots you have are certified for night flight, that's more and more money.. because you can make 10trips a day... The pay for a bigginer pilot in a light proppeller aircraft like the one I have in mind will will be around 90k, 100k..(minus overtime and night flights)..

With a 220hp engine burning 20 ltrs of fuel an hour, you have nothing to loose except in the case of a crash. So you are sure to make back your 12m in less than a month if you keep that aircraft in the air for not less than 8hrs daily..



I have lots of this kind of ideas and am capable of bringing them to light if I had the right support financially or through partnerships... Pm me on 0 8 1 2 7 6 4 0 7 2 1. if you are interested
