South West PDP is asking the PDP chairman to resign – Seyi Makinde

Governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde has called for the resignation of the Party Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu on behalf of the South West region of the People’s Democratic party, PDP.

He said the Party needs to restructure itself before it can restructure Nigeria.

He spoke during an interactive session with the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming 2023 election, Abubakar Atiku and chieftains of the party from the South West zone.

According to him, one of the conditions to restructure the party is for Ayu to resign and a National Chairman from the south be chosen. Makinde explained that the presidential candidate, Atiku is from the north while Ayu is also from the north.

He said; “We must speak the truth. The truth is that we don’t have any issue either with the party or the candidate.

“We don’t have any issue in PDP. This is not about an individual. Those are the issues that are behind us, it has happened, it has happened.

“The issue is that we must restructure Nigeria if we want unity in Nigeria. But, we must restructure PDP itself before we restructure Nigeria.

“If we want to restructure Nigeria, do we have the capacity, the answer is yes.

“But, the South West PDP is asking the PDP chairman to resign.

“The Southwest PDP is telling the Chairman to step down”.
