Aggrieved leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State on Monday passed vote of no confidence in the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde.
The leaders from all the 33 local government areas of the state held a meeting in Ibadan where they expressed their disenchantment at the leadership of the governor.
Some of the leaders at the meeting included a former Deputy Governor of the state, kazeem Gbolarumi; former Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mulikat Adeola-Akande; Alhaji Bisi Olopoeyan; Alhaji Nureni Akanbi among others.
They urged members of the party to go to their wards and participate in the congress and shun violence.
The communique read, “Members are urged to go to the congress venue on Saturday and conduct themselves in the most peaceful manner. The venue remains the wards meeting venues in each of the 351 wards in the state.
“If other members of the PDP turn up at the venue, they should jointly hold the congress together but nobody should engage in any form of hooliganism and brigandage . As members of the same party, we must relate as such.
“Members are assured that efforts are are being made at the state and national levels to ensure that the ownership of PDP reverts back to members of the party.
“The meeting prays for a peaceful conduct of the PDP congress which will be held on Saturday, September 25 through October 16, 2021.
“The meeting rose with passing of vote of no confidence in the leadership of Engr Seyi Makinde on the Oyo State PDP.”
The aggrieved leaders had earlier in the year held a similar meeting at the same venue where they vowed to stop Makinde from winning in 2023.
They claimed that the governor abandoned those that worked for his victory in 2019 governorship poll and was patronising those who did nothing to support him during the. election.
