Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has urged the new executives of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the state to reconcile all aggrieved members and unify the party’s structure ahead of the 2023 general election.
Governor Makinde stated this at the Executive Council Chamber of his office while receiving the new executive committee members who visited him.
The governor appealed to the executive committee to be fair and just to all members.

He said: “I think by now, even the aggrieved members know where the party structure is. But we are not going to say they should go away as we also have to reach out to them. When the general populace pushed us to get ourselves organised that they will vote PDP, even some of our members did not believe it would work”.
“We said something to ourselves that we may disagree because there will always be disagreement in every human interaction. But what we are saying is that even if we disagree, let us get ourselves together to get power and then those disagreements will go to the Government House where we will all settle it”.
“And today, we are here in the Exco Chamber. Yes, we may not be able to satisfy everybody. Anytime we have challenges with anybody, let them bring those things to the table and we’ll fix it”.
“We are lucky in Oyo State. Today, the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the party is from Oyo State. So, there is a channel to reach the very top decision-makers”. “So, I want to promise you that everything we are supposed to work out to ensure that the party structure is well oiled and maintained, will be done”.
“As the leadership and administrator of the party in Oyo State, we must commit to being fair and just to all the party members and even to those that claimed to be aggrieved. Once you bring them to the fold, deal with everybody as one. Let us try our best to do all we need to do and leave the rest for God”.
Earlier, the newly elected Oyo State PDP Chairman, Mr. Dayo Ogungbenro, assured on behalf of the new executives, that he would make it a point of duty to instil discipline in the party and continue to support the current administration to succeed in all ways.
