Rita Orji, a former House of Representatives member, said a PDP delegation came all the way from Lagos to pledge support for the Oyo governor stated that:
“We can tell you that the governor does not want anything from us. He, as the Chief Security Officer of Oyo State, needs nothing from the party. Rather, we are the ones who came all the way from Lagos to plead with him to keep leading the party.
“We resolved to, irrespective of any rancour, move the party forward and we will ensure that the party takes its better seat in 2023. We did not come here to discuss who takes anything for zonal congress. The congress will soon come up and for all we care, we have come to restate our commitment to our own governor.”
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the party noted that the crisis is a threat to its survival in the southwest ahead of the 2023 general elections.
