TLDR

  • The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria's South West Zone has disavowed a press conference held in Ibadan.
  • The disowned conference allegedly condemned former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and pledged support for Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.
  • The party's official stance reaffirms loyalty to the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC).

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West Zone has moved swiftly to distance itself from a purported press conference that sought to sow discord within the party ranks. This unauthorized gathering in Ibadan, which falsely claimed to condemn former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and declared support for Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, does not represent the views or decisions of the PDP in our region. Vanguard News reports that the zone has unequivocally disowned the conference, emphasizing its commitment to party unity and discipline.

It is crucial for our stakeholders and the public to understand that any pronouncements made at such unauthorized events are null and void. The PDP South West Zone remains steadfast in its loyalty to the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC). We urge all party faithful to disregard any information emanating from this discredited source and to remain focused on the collective goals of the PDP.

This incident underscores the importance of adhering to established party protocols and communication channels. While we encourage robust internal dialogue, actions that undermine party cohesion and spread misinformation are unacceptable. The PDP South West Zone is dedicated to fostering a united front as we work towards strengthening our party and serving the people of Nigeria.
