Makinde Is Our Enemy, He Has Divided PDP Into Two – Oyo PDP Leaders
June 10, 2021
Aggrieved leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, on Thursday, described the State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, as the enemy of the party who had successfully divided the party into two in the state.
The party leaders said since assumption of office, the governor, has not been working for the progress of the party.
Speaking at a stakeholders meeting in Ibadan, the PDP leaders described the governor as an ingrate.
At the well attended meeting were: former deputy governor, Alhaji Hazeem Gbolarunmi, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoeniyan, Femi Babalola, youth leader, Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye, Majekodunmi Aborode, Ibaa Nureni Akanni and others.
Speaking at the meeting, a former deputy governor of the state, Alhaji Hazeem Gbolarunmi said; “I am not sure PDP is in government in Oyo state. Let’s take care of the party and leave the Government for Makinde and his co-travellers.
“Unity of our party is more important to us than Makinde. They are holding GSM meeting not PDP meeting. The only enemy of PDP in Oyo state is Makinde.”
Another leader of the party, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoeniyan in his remarks said; “Those who are with him and you people here are the same. They don’t have anything. I am not here for government but I am here because of PDP. I am not with him in this government. Since he said that is the way he wants to do it, we have left him for God.
“Let’s know ourselves and join meetings in the place we are to do it. The party has been devided into two and anyone who says it is not so, is deceiving himself. I know God will vindicate us.”
A former Commisioner for environment, Alhaji Aborode Majekodunmi said; “Makinde forced those of us who worked for the party out and compensated those who didn’t work for the party. We will take our party back from the strangers soon.”
In his contributions, a leader of the party in the state, Engr. Femi Babalola described the governor as a stranger in the party, saying the party had learnt it’s lesson for not accommodating such stranger again.
“I want to sympathise with you, my people. It is very painful that we worked for the party but some people are eating our sweat. We are going to take back our resources soon. Next time, we won’t allow strangers in our party again.”

FRSC seizes 222 trailers conveying 3,169 passengers The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) inter-agency task force has apprehended 222 trailers transporting 3,169 passengers across Niger, Bauchi, Taraba, and Kaduna states. The task force, established to curb the transportation of passengers alongside goods, aims to reduce road traffic accidents and associated casualties caused by the reckless conduct of trailer drivers. Corps Marshal Dauda Ali-Biu announced during a press briefing in Abuja that the initiative involves collaboration with various transport unions, security agencies, and traffic management authorities. “As part of the operations, the JTF dropped over 2,440 passengers who were mandated to take alternative vehicles designed for conveying passengers. “Since the commencement of the JTF on March 23, the monster of road traffic crashes involving trailers and the fatalities that come with them have been adequately tamed and the situation arrested on all fronts,” he said. Mr Ali-Biu added that the corps had gone a step further by prosecuting recalcitrant trailer drivers aside the conventional enforcement of traffic regulations. This, he said, was done through mobile courts in the 36 states of the federation and the FCT. “Subsequently, more drastic measures, including suspension and withdrawal of the national driver’s licence, will be carried out. “Permit me to reiterate at this critical moment that, on our part, as an agency of government charged with road safety supervision, we have resolved to continue in our strive to make the nation’s highways safe. “Part of our resolve is to consolidate on the gains recorded so far through the strategic combat operations of the joint task force. “We have decided to sustain the tempo by extending the operations of the JTF to other critical corridors across the nation. “The essence of this extension is to give it a holistic approach,” the corps marshal said.FRSC seizes 222 trailers conveying 3,169 passengers The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) inter-agency task force has apprehended 222 trailers transporting 3,169 passengers across Niger, Bauchi, Taraba, and Kaduna states.
