Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has called for the return of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members who joined African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition party.
Makinde made the call while speaking at the end of the Party’s South West Zonal Caucus meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday.
As contained in a statement issued after the meeting by the party, Makinde, his address, called on all PDP members to remain steadfast and committed to the shared vision of progress, unity and development.
He urged the party members in the opposition coalition to return to the PDP as he likened their alliance as people who abandoned a house due to internal challenges.
The Oyo governor emphasized unity, urging coalition members to address issues collaboratively rather than leaving due to temporary setbacks.
“You can’t abandon your house because of a leaking roof,” Makinde declared.
He added that the PDP is built on solid foundations, and like any structure, it may face wear and tear.
According to him, it is the responsibility of all Party members to fix the leaks, strengthen the foundation, and keep the house standing for the people of this country.
Makinde acknowledged the sacrifices of all party members and leaders and reaffirmed his commitment to working together with other critical stakeholders in the Party towards the success of the PDP in future elections.
“Let us fix the roof together and keep this house strong for the future,” he concluded.
