Makinde said that the essence of the meeting was to resolve the internal crises within the party in the zone “so that the PDP House would be in order before the general elections."

In a bid to resolve the internal crises within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogbomoso zone, Oyo State, ahead of the 2023 elections, Gov. Seyi Makinde met with key leaders of the party on Thursday.

Makinde also held another meeting with the people in the zone for two days, where he x-rayed the achievements of his administration in the last three and a half years and sought their votes to enable him to return for a second term.

A statement on Thursday evening in Ibadan by Mr Taiwo Adisa, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, indicated that the two seperate meetings were held at the Lagbami Osekun Hall and Soun Ogunlola Hall, both in Ogbomoso.

Makinde said that the essence of the meeting was to resolve the internal crises within the party in the zone "so that the PDP House would be in order before the general elections."

At the meeting with the PDP stakeholders in Ogbomoso zone, the governor said he was convinced that the good people of Ogbomosoland were solidly behind his re-election bid.

The zone comprised Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, Oriire, Ogooluwa, and Surulere local governments.

Makinde said that the zone had benefited from many developmental projects and programs under his administration.

He urged the people of Ogbomosoland to re-elect him in order to enjoy sustainable development, promising to keep working on the developmental demands of every zone of the state based on the resources at the government's disposal.

The governor also promised that all demands made by the people during the two separate meetings, including the appointment of a new sou in Ogbomoso, would be addressed.

Makinde, however, told them that he would only insist that the "due process must be followed."

"Once due process is followed in the selection of the Soun, the state government will give its support," the governor said.

In their separate remarks, the Onpetu of Ijeru, Oba Sunday Oyediran, and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Saka Balogun, commended Makinde for doing so much for Ogbomosoland in the areas of education, security, healthcare delivery, and infrastructure.

The traditional ruler said the governor had transformed Ogbomoso with several road projects and healthcare projects.

Balogun also said that Makinde achieved something that brought eternal joy to Ogbomoso when he secured the sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH).

He urged the Ogbomoso voters to re-elect the governor in 2023.

Among those in attendance at the meetings were Makinde's deputy, Adebayo Lawal; the PDP's Deputy National Chairman (South), Amb. Taofeek Arapaja; the PDP's Deputy National Secretary, Dr. Setonji Koshoedo; the former Speaker of the House of Assembly, Sen. Monsurat Sunmonu; Sen. Gbenga Babalola; and Sen. Kamorudeen Adedibu.
