By Funmi Olakunle

The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has said the victory of Governor Seyi Makinde in the case over his eligibility as the candidate of the party in the last governorship election has again confirmed the transparency of the internal party primaries held by the party.

The party’s assertion came in the wake of the Supreme Court judgment that upheld Makinde as the candidate as against the pleas by Senator Ayoade Adeseun.

The PDP, in a congratulatory message signed by its chairman, Alhaji Kunmi Mustapha and Alhaji Wasiu Emiola nevertheless, warned members to desist from instituting needless litigations but to ensure that they use the internal mechanisms available in the party to resolve all issues.

The Oyo State PDP, in the statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan, on Friday, said the decision of the Supreme Court on the suit filed by Senator Ayoade Adeseun, vindicated the process that threw up the party’s candidates as credible and democratic.  

The party, which pledged its continued support to Governor Makinde as the leader of the party, assured residents of the state the administration of Governor Makinde would run the state with the same measure of credibility and transparency, ensuring that integrity, transparency and zero tolerance for corruption would be his watchwords.

The Oyo PDP added that the Makinde would be a clear departure from the era of impunity, indiscipline and lack of accountability known with the previous government, just as it noted that the present leadership of the party led by the State Chairman, Alhaji Mustapha would make the PDP enviable in the state.

“We want to assure the people of Oyo State that the government of the PDP will be a clear departure from the past when impunity, indiscipline, disorderliness and lack of cohesion were the order of the day,” the statement said.
