OYO State Governor Seyi Makinde says the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, is a plot designed by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory – FCT, Nyesom Wike, to hold the party down for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Governor Makinde, who made this allegation, spoke on Sunday when he met with Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, in Bauchi.
The Oyo State Governor said any PDP member identifying with the Wike-backed faction must have agreed to support Tinubu in 2027.
“I was in a meeting with Wike and Mr President and he (Wike) promised to hold PDP for Mr President towards 2027,’’ Makinde said.
“So anyone moving with Wike and his group, have agreed to support President Tinubu for the 2027 election.
“We are not begrudging them. You can support whoever you want to support, but go to them if you want to support them.
“They have the government behind them, they have the judiciary and INEC behind them but we have the people behind us.”
