We Will Continue To Fight For Our Space In PDP -Gov Makinde

The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has said the fight for their recognition in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would continue until the leadership of the party succumbs to their desire.

 

Newsonline reports that Makinde said the fight within the PDP for recognition is for the good of their people and will not stop until they succeed.

 

Makinde made the declaration on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Emohua campus of the Rivers State University where he was the special guest of honour.

 

He said, “Even the fight that we lost, we did not lose with our heads bowed.

 

“We lost knowing that we stood for the truth and we stood for what is good for this country.

 

“What I will say to you (Wike) is Aluta continua. We will continue to fight for our space within the PDP and we will continue to ensure that what is right for our people is given to our people.”

Speaking, Governor Wike said the leadership of the party is failing in recognizing that the governors through their developmental projects in their respective states are making PDP victory in the 2023 election easy.

 

Wike slammed the national leadership of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu and the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa for sending people with “mental problems” to abuse the efforts of his camp members.

 

According to Wike “the only states you can see commissioning or flag off of projects are those states according to them that the children are in charge.

 

“If a PDP state is not doing well, don’t think you will be voted for because APC is not doing well.

 

“That’s why the party should respect us and know that we are the ones campaigning for the party because we have what we can use to campaign.

 

“It’s not to abuse people on the pages of a newspaper or go on television and bring people who have some mental problems to defend something they cannot defend.”
