Oyo PDP crisis worsens as Ladoja moves to pull out
The crisis in the Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a worse turn.
The new harmonised list of the State Executive Council (SEC) of the party, which was released by the national leadership on Tuesday, was said to have jolted the Senator Rashidi Ladoja faction.
The faction reportedly conceded some slots to the faction headed by Seyi Makinde against the former’s expectation.
While the list ceded 14 slots to Ladoja’s faction, 12 went to Makinde’s faction.
It was gathered that the national leadership of the party took the decision to ensure that party members have a sense of belonging.
But the decision reportedly jolted the Ladoja faction so much. The Nation learnt that their leaders have decided to pull out and join a neutral party ahead of next year’s election.
