Two former governors of Oyo State –Rashidi Ladoja and Adebayo Alao-Akala were represented at a meeting of some Oyo and Osun chieftains of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) with National Caretaker Chairman Ahmed Makarfi in Abuja on Wednesday.
Senator Femi Lanlehin told the meeting that he was representing Ladoja.
Mr. Wale Ohu said he stood in for ALao-Akala.
It was the clearest indication that Ladoja, who left the PDP to become the promoter of Accord party and Alao-Akala, who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), might be on their way back to the PDP.
Former Senate Deputy Chief Whip Senator Hosea Agboola told The Nations Newspaper that the two former governors had agreed to rejoin the PDP.
Agboola said: “Yes, I can confirm to you that the two former governors have agreed to return to the PDP. They said they are coming but they have not come yet”.
Some of the other PDP leader at the parley awere: Senators Iyiola Omisore, Akinlabi Olasunkanmi, Senator Olu Alabi, Senator Femi Fani-Kayode, Senator Lanlehin and Senator Agbooola, among others
Makarfi cautioned party members against the culture of impunity, for the party to make progress.
Warning against cutting corners to achieve ambitions, the party chair said such actions could be counter productive, stressing that the culture of impunity was partly responsible for the party’s past crises.
He said: “We must stop cutting corners. We live in a high litigious society. When you cut corners thinking that nobody will see you, a lot of people have seen you. At a time you least expect, somebody will drag you to court again. Therefore, what is worth doing is worth doing well”.
Stating that internal wrangling could only weaken the PDP, Makarfi said nobody stands to gain from disunity.
“We are not in politics to suffer but (to) form government. PDP was the dominant party but internal crises caused us to lose the election”, he added.
