FORMER governors of Ogun and Oyo states, Gbenga Daniel and Rasheed Ladoja, have said it is too late for Southwest leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to contemplate leaving the party over the zone’s loss of the office of national chairman.
Ladoja-Daniel

Speaking separately when they hosted the Governor Seriake Dickson-led National Reconciliation Committee, the two governors affirmed that even though mistakes were made, they would not leave the party as they separately pledged to work towards the success of the party in the 2019 elections.

The Dickson Committee met with Ladoja in Ibadan and subsequently with Daniel in Lagos yesterday on its first day in the Southwest following talks with other leaders in Abuja.

Both Daniel and Ladoja were national chairmanship contestants at last weekend’s convention of the PDP.

Speaking when he received the committee in Ibadan, Ladoja said: “I am in politics to make Nigeria work. In 1999, they begged me to be the governorship candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, AD, and I refused. I wanted a mainstream party. I have seen it all in PDP both the ascension and descent. It is the people that make the party not the other way round. If we come together, we will make the government that the people deserve. We are back to PDP, and we will remain in PDP.”

On his part when he received the committee in Lagos, Otunba Daniel said: “I want you to be rest assured that we will do everything that is humanly possible to make sure that our party, the PDP, succeeds. There is no doubt that there are issues. But I think the responsibility of our party and leadership is what you have demonstrated, that when we have challenges, rather than sit back, and brood over our challenges, you have stood up to do whatever is expected.”

Who is this Buhari everybody is calling? Is he the father of hardship?

ChimaAgbalajob:
Why say $65 billion when you can ask for $150 billion?

Abookis are just looting nigeria and using GEJ this or that to distract our people.

[s]He added that he would have used his position as the then chairman of PDP governors’ forum to fight the situation[/s] but he felt there was a need to cross over to APC because [s]of his belief in President Muhammadu Buhari.[/s]

“He (Buhari) needs to sack his entire cabinet because they have failed,” Agbakoba said.

Nigerians now look up to the PDP for direction and we cannot afford to be distracted in any way whatsoever.

Eziokwu. Gbam of the highest order. Buhari is not just a failure , he is a disaster!!! - Na who talk am sef?

“In terms of healthcare delivery, they have performed woefully. If Buhari has headache, ear pain or nose, he would run to London. So, they have failed the country woefully.

According to the statement, Okorocha disclosed that 89% of Nigerians were not happy in the real sense of the word 'happiness' adding that only 4% could really be happy to some extent, while seven percent claim to be happy.

SalamRushdie:
Where did I mention Atiku? I dont know Nigerias next President in 2019 but I know its not Buhari

OfficialAwol:
[s]Most people may want Buhari gone but I don't think it's correct to say that the man has fallen.

That would be delusion.

At least not after what we saw in Kano[/s].

it is crystal clear to all Nigerians, that APC is not a political party, but a body hurriedly assembled to seize power without a clear cut plan for governance.

krendo:
GEJ is a strategic thinker

PDP need all zones to thrive. Politics is a game of numbers

Wike should keep his oil money for now, it will come handy in future

jcflex:
If this happen to be true then

[s]Atiku is in deep shit from fry pan to fire.

Prof na Baba loyalist to the core.

i guess reason why IBB ask Atiku to forget about becoming president[/s].

National chairmanship aspirants from the South West zone have finally pulled their weight behind Prof. Tunde Adeniran as their consensus candidate in today’s elective national convention of the PDP taking place at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
A statement issued by on one the aspirants and former Oyo State governor, Rashidi Ladoja, said they had decided to step down for Adeniran.

The statement reads: “At the close of nominations, seven (7) aspirants from the Southwest Zone obtained and returned nomination forms for the position of the National Chairman of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

From consultations with stakeholders from various zones, we gathered that from all zones, the stakeholders who preferred to back the South West Zone for the position suggested that we should prune down the number, if possible, to one person
“The Northern stakeholders went to the extent of stating clearly in a communique, after their meeting, their preference for a South West candidate.

“To reciprocate these laudable gestures, meetings of the seven (7) aspirants were held with Senator Rashidi Ladoja as the convener on Wednesday 6th, Thursday 7th, Friday 8th and Saturday 9th December, 2017 with the sole aim of agreeing to a consensus candidate. We all agreed that the chances of one person winning are better than those of seven people who are likely to divide the votes coming to the zone.
“Since then, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, Chief Olabode George, Senator Rashidi Ladoja and Mr. Olusegun Aderemi have withdrawn from the race.

“Accordingly, I am of the opinion that Prof” Tunde Adeniran should become our consensus candidate. I am hereby appealing to all lovers of the South West Zone to support the candidature of Professor Tunde Adeniran to clinch the position of the National Chairman of our great party, the PDP.,” he said

Lies. Lies.

We now have an APC government, which continues to blame previous governments and scapegoat people rather than solve problems it was elected to solve.

He said the PDP has a lot to be proud of as in the last 16 years, Nigeria prospered and was recognized as the largest economy in Africa.

The APC promised us N3 million new jobs a year, in government the APC has lost N3 million jobs a year,” Atiku said.
