Southwest PDP backs Makinde, dismisses alleged impeachment plot
By Adewale Owoade
The Southwest Zonal Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared unwavering support for Seyi Makinde, dismissing recent rumours of an impeachment plot as baseless and politically motivated.
This declaration was made during a press conference at the Soji Adagunodo House, the party’s zonal secretariat in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The Zonal Publicity Secretary, Chief Sanya Atofarati, reaffirmed the party’s solidarity with Nigerians.
”We unequivocally identify with and stand firmly behind His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, whose administration continues to demonstrate stability, focus, and an unwavering commitment to delivering democratic dividends to the good people of Oyo State.
”We also commend His Excellency for his dogged and consistent efforts in sustaining and strengthening multi-party democracy in Nigeria.
”The rumoured impeachment plot against the Governor is baseless, contrived, and should be disregarded by all well-meaning Nigerians.
”The PDP Southwest strongly condemns the reckless and divisive comments made by former Governor Ayodele Fayose.
“Such utterances are irresponsible, self-serving, and capable of inciting tension, particularly through the needless politicisation of revered traditional institutions.
”This conduct is unacceptable and is hereby unequivocally condemned. Furthermore, the PDP Southwest pledges its unwavering support and loyalty to the Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC).
”We reaffirm our commitment to party unity, discipline, and cohesion at all levels,” Atofarati said.
The PDP Southwest leadership also expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their resilience and continued faith in the party, assuring them of responsible leadership and a better future. (NAN)
