A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Earl Osaro Onaiwu, has urged members of the public to disregard rumours suggesting a rift between Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Onaiwu, who served as the pioneer Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said the claims of disagreement between the two leaders are baseless and mischievous.
He added that saboteurs who want to destabilize the PDP and derail plans for the party’s National Convention are responsible for sharing the false report.
Naija News reports he made the submission in a statement issued on Thursday.
“There is no rift between Governor Makinde and former Governor Wike. Both men remain committed party leaders and loyal members of the PDP family.
“Those trying to sow discord are simply unhappy with the renewed strength and unity demonstrated at the recent PDP strategic meeting,” Onaiwu stated.
He emphasized that the PDP remains united and is the only political party in Nigeria rooted in democratic values, open dialogue, and internal cohesion. He assured that plans for the upcoming national convention are proceeding smoothly and inclusively.
Onaiwu reiterated that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), the National Executive Committee (NEC), and other stakeholders agreed to work towards the National Convention in the presence of officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He therefore urged members of the public and the media to disregard the circulating reports of internal crisis, saying the PDP will not be distracted by sponsored propaganda.
“The PDP is not distracted by sponsored propaganda. Our mission is clear, our ranks are united, and our vision is focused on delivering competent leadership to Nigerians once again,” Onaiwu concluded.
