Indications have emerged that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde will not attend the Presidential Campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar today in the state despite intervention of ExOyo Governor, Senator Rasheed Ladoja.
It was gathered that Makinde has not got signal from Wike, who leads G5 and may shun Atiku’s Presidential Campaign that is slated for Oyo State today.
This online news platform gathered that National Assembly candidates of the party in the state were confused about whether to attend the campaign or not.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is expected to lead PDP governorship candidates in Lagos and Ogun to the event.
It was further learnt that Makinde had not gotten a signal from the leader of the aggrieved party’s governors known as G-5 led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to attend the event, despite intervention of Ladoja who told him blunt truth about dangerous path that he is toeing.
Unlike when the G-5 Governors visited Ibadan a few days ago, there was nothing welcoming Atiku and the PDP leaders to Ibadan.
Also, the decoration of Mapo Hall, venue of the event, and other logistics were not being handled by the Makinde administration.
It would be recalled that former governor Ayodele Fayose and some of his loyalists, especially those contesting senatorial and House of Representatives seats on the platform of the party shunned the rally in Ekiti.
Makinde and four other governors of Rivers, Benue, Abia and Enugu were not disposed to the campaign of the former vice-president following his insistence that the party chairman, Iyorchia Ayu would not vacate his seat as national chairman of the PDP.
