IBADAN – Crisis rocking the South-West zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) got deepened as a member of the Caretaker Committee in the zone, Mrs Funmilayo Ogun, has described the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde as an accidental governor and a mistake that the PDP will no longer make.

She said it was sad that the PDP handed its governorship ticket to a petty and immature character like Makinde, adding that there are better and committed people in the Oyo State PDP than the governor, a product of coalition who has betrayed the trust of those who ensured his electoral victory.

The caretaker committee member pointed out that the governor was in the defunct All Nigerians Peoples Party (ANPP), in 2007 and 2011 as well as Social Democratic Party (SDP), in 2015 and only returned to PDP in 2018.

She said those who elected Makinde as governor in Oyo State did not elect him to be Premier of the South-West, vowing that the caretaker committee will never have anything to do with him since he has chosen not to respect the party, acting as if being a governor makes him bigger than the party.

The PDP chieftain said it was strange that Makinde, a governor elected under the platform of the PDP is openly going against the decision of the National Executive Committee (NEC), the highest decision-making organ of the party after the National Convention.

Mrs Ogun argued that by choosing to relate with individuals not recognised as State Chairmen of PDP in Ekiti, Osun and Ogun States, Governor Makinde is only saying that he is more powerful than the party NEC and that as far as he is concerned, decisions of the NEC are not biding on him.

She said it is a matter of concern to her that Governor Makinde could refer to the State Working Committee of the party in Ekiti State as “factional” despite being part of the NEC meeting where the congresses in Ekiti and others States were approved.

“I hate to say this, but Governor Makinde has not acted true to his office as a governor under the platform of the PDP. He is petty and immature. His commitment to the PDP is suspicious and as someone whose love for the party has remained unwavering, I doubt if he is not working for those APC governors, who gave him money for his election.

“It is my opinion that next time, our party should be mindful of promoting people like Governor Makinde, who was never stable in the party for once.

“If he had failed in his bid to get the party ticket in 2018, I am sure he (Makinde) would have moved to another party just as he did in 2015, despite the plea that he should take Senate ticket.”

Maybe but she is right 100% that Makinde is petty and immature. In fact those words sum up everything about Makinde accurately.

Cry me a river. Even useless PDPit rode on his popularity. I don't support his actions if everything said is true. But if Wike can become an emperor in same party, Makinde too should become his premier in peace nah. If PDPit wan do anyhow, make Seyi port go APC jare so we go know so say na for another lifetime give PDPit for SW. Seyi this, Seyi that everyday.

Kapilta:
The senator said the truth. Obasanjo, Igbo man did 8 good years so come 2023 for fairness, equity and justice, presidency must return to SW and not just SW before we mistakenly pick another Igbo with yoruba name, it is time for a bonafide Yoruba man. At least we are the only tribe left to produce candidate for that number one sit.
