Gov. Makinde Not Leaving PDP – Spokesperson

The Chief Press Secretary to Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State, Taiwo Adisa has said reports indicating that his principal wants to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are false.

Adisa debunked the claims in a statement issued on Monday.

Reports circulated on Monday that about four governors in the PDP are planning on defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), with Governor Makinde touted as one of them.

But Adisa described the speculations as “a concocted falsehood from purveyors of fake news, who are bent on maligning the governor at all cost.”

According to the governor’s media aide, his principal has remained a strong pillar of the PDP for many years and is already leading the mission for its resurgence in the South-West region.

Adisa stated that the governor has no plan to defect to another party.

The statement partly read: “There is a concocted lie doing the rounds about Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State planning to dump the PDP.

“This is the latest in the rounds of false reports and fake news, weapons which some individuals have employed to wage a needless war against the governor.”
