There has been fallout among members of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Oyo State after the last presidential election which produced Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the president of the country.
Some aggrieved members of the PDP have vowed to work against the emergence of Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde for second term due to his role in making sure that the PDP presidential candidate lost Oyo State to APC in the last presidential poll.
Meanwhile, some of the aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Oyo State, under the platform called PDP Vanguard, have declared their support for the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate, Teslim Folarin, on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
The group, made up of about 190,000 supporters disclosed this in a statement on their official Twitter account @pdpvanguard, on Wednesday.
The statement read: “It is essential that every eligible voter in Oyo State exercises their right to vote.
“The importance of this cannot be overstated, as every single vote counts and can make a significant difference in the outcome of the election.
“Folarin is the answer!”
Meanwhile, a statement by Folarin’s media aide, Yekeen Olaniyi, on Thursday, welcomed the development, calling on other opposition parties to take a cue from the PDP Vanguard by joining him to rescue the state from Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration.
Olaniyi said, “Oyo State security system has shamefully degraded from a mountaintop of excellence during the days of “Operation Burst” to a despicable gutter of security deterioration such that the state residents now live in palpable fear and tension.”
