Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on Thursday declared that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not dead.
Makinde made the assurance while speaking with reporters
after PDP’s Southwest zoning consultative summit in Lagos.
He maintained that PDP remains a formidable force despite
its internal crisis.
The governor noted that, with hard work, PDP can reclaim
power.
He also warned that he is not prepared to stoop low with
anybody who opts to “go into the gutters.”
Makinde, however, pointed out that he reserves the right to
disagree with anyone.
He said: “Personally, when people go low or go into the
gutters, I don’t go with them. Some people are now going into the gutters. We
will reach out to them.
“I can disagree with people, but there shouldn’t be anything
personal here. That is democracy.
“In all our states, they showed last Saturday that PDP is
not dead.
“In most other places of the 12 states, PDP came second. It
is an indication to us that if we continue to work hard, we can reclaim the
confidence of Nigerians.
“We haven’t even gotten there. We need to have a party first
before you start talking about presidential candidates. If we don’t have a
party, anything you are trying to do will fall flat.
“Our efforts right now are directed towards having a vibrant
and united PDP that Nigerians will be proud of and believe in again.”
