A former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has
denied plans to attend a reconciliation meeting with Oyo State Governor, Seyi
Makinde, today.
Both Fayose and Makinde have polarised the PDP as a result
of their differences as both party leaders have been supporting different
factions of the party in the South-West.
Both of them have also nominated different men and women for
party positions in the forthcoming zonal congress of the party in the
South-West.
Their supporters have also been accusing and abusing their
leaders, calling them unprintable names.
In a bid to reconcile the two leaders, ex-Governor
Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State has reportedly convened a peace meeting.
His earlier meetings in South-West states had been shunned
by Fayose supporters, who alleged that any meeting called by Oyinlola “is
self-serving and for personal gains.”
While reacting to reports that he would be attending a
reconciliation meeting with Makinde, Fayose tweeted, “My attention has been
drawn to a publication that I will attend a reconciliation meeting by former
Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, today (Friday).
“Let me state clearly that I have no business with Prince
Oyinlola’s so-called reconciliation.”
The crisis between Fayose and Makinde started over the latter’s role in the Ekiti PDP crisis as well as the leadership of the party in the South-West.
The strife, which has lingered for some months, had even
recently seen the aides of the two engaging in a war of words on social media.
Fayose had insisted that Makinde was not the PDP leader in
the South-West, noting that leadership should be earned and not for anyone as a
title.
