Governor of Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria, Seyi Makinde says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is “treading on a very dangerous path” with the lingering crisis in the party.
Gatekeepers News reports that Makinde made the declaration when he was a guest on Politics Today, a channels TV program.
Makinde was asked who is the preferred presidential candidate of the G5 governors.
The Oyo governor declined to give a name, saying “one day is a very long time in politics”.
“The first election is February 25, that is still little short of four weeks. We (referring to G5 governors) had issues and brought them up,” he added.
“We said the constitution of the party is very clear about rotation and zoning. I was the one who brought it up at the NEC meeting. Section 7(3)(c) of the PDP constitution is very clear.
“We are treading on a very dangerous path. I will not say because I’m in PDP then I should compromise on my principles and that is what the G5 governors are saying.
“The party says the PDP constitution, which invariably says you must zone and rotate party position, should be disregarded and we said no.”
