Oyo PDP warns members against needless litigations

The Oyo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned its members against instituting needles litigations which may cause distractions and ultimately drag the party backwards.

Instead, the party in a statement issued on Friday in Ibadan by its State Publicity Secretary, Mr Akeem Olatunji, advised aggrieved members to use internal mechanisms available in the party to resolve all issues.

According to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the party’s statement was in response to the victory of Gov. Seyi Makinde at the Supreme court after he was dragged to the apex court by Sen. Ayoade Adeseun, a PDP member, over the party’s primary that produced Makinde as the gubernatorial candidate of the party.

“We want to assure the people of Oyo State that the government of the PDP will be a clear departure from the past when impunity, indiscipline, disorderliness and lack of cohesion were the order of the day,” the statement said.

The party hailed Makinde’s court victory, assuring residents of the state that the PDP-led administration would run the state with the same measure of credibility and transparency.

The statement further said that integrity, transparency and zero tolerance for corruption would be the watchwords of the governor.
