ODUDUWA NEWS has gathered that Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde and other PDP stakeholders have finally endorsed Mogaji Joseph Tegbe who recently defected to PDP from APC to fly Oyo South Senatorial ticket.
Recall, this newspaper earlier reported how Oyo Central was firstly hijacked from Bisi Ilaka before some prominent personalities prevailed on Gov Makinde to allow the former Chief of Staff, Chief Bisi Ilaka fly the ticket. 
The official endorsement of Tegbe was made by the leadership of the party in the State and the 9 local government areas in the Senatorial District.
Announcing the development on Sunday evening, Fresh FM’s Mayor Isaac Brown, revealed that the endorsement was reached by all critical stakeholders of the party.
Sources within the PDP reliably confirmed the truth of this development to ODUDUWA NEWS.
“The meeting was chaired by the Governor and leader of the party in the state, Seyi Makinde.
“The leadership of Oyo PDP in the 9 local government of Oyo South senatorial district has in a meeting officially endorsed Tegbe for the party’s ticket,” he was quoted saying.
As at the time of filing this report, the serving Senator, Sen. Kola Balogun, who is the younger brother of the Olubadan of Ibadan, is yet to respond to the latest development.
