The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on members of the public to disregard in its entirety speculation that its leaders are not in good terms with Governor Seyi Makinde .
The party made the call In a statement by its publicity Secretary, Akeem Olatunji.
The party described the rumour as ‘malicious and frivolous’ and could not stand the test of reason
The party said it was shocked by the extent the All Progressives Congress (APC) was willing to go just to discredit the good work the governor was doing in the state and thus render him unpopular among Oyo people.
the party ACCUSED the APC of trying to cause discontent between the people of the state and the governor by blackmailing him.
The statement read “We are greatly appalled at the desperation of the APC to publicise all manners of lies and falsehood against our government
“Let us assure the lie merchants in the APC that our party, the PDP stands firm with Governor Seyi Makinde, and the laudable achievements he has recorded in 100 days.
“No member of the PDP is angry with the Governor and no one is expressing any such frustration as contained in the lies being marketed by the APC,”
The ruling party, however, pledged it support to the Governor, adding that the leadership of the party was pleased with the strides the governor was making, as he continued to lay the foundation for the swift development of Oyo State.
“We are impressed at the globally acclaimed good works of our Governor, the GSM. No one abandons a good product, not even the blind.”
“Let us place on record that purveyors of such stories are either deluded, suffering from acute amnesia, or just trying to make a nuisance of themselves.
“It is not only unfounded, frivolous and malicious but also a great lie that stands no reason. Governor Makinde is no longer about Oyo State, he is already a nationally acclaimed deliverer of good dividends of democracy and good governance.
“When God begins a special project, only a fool will refuse to join the train. We as a party are more than ever before proud of our God-sent ‘Mr. Talk and Do Governor,’ who works more and talks less, and this willpower of Governor Makinde has rekindled our hope and faith in the actualisation of the Oyo project embarked upon by our governor.
“We are 100 per cent satisfied with his every move and decision, because he treats every member of PDP as members of the family.
“We, therefore, enjoin all members of the public to disregard in totality the distractive publications, falsehood and unbridled li es being peddled against the service-delivering Governor Makinde.”
