The Labour Party governorship candidate in Oyo state, Alhaji Tawfiq Akinwale says his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP counterpart, Seyi Makinde has been calling the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi and the national chairman of the party for endorsement.
Akinwale said Makinde should face the internal bleeding in the PDP and the electorates for the March 11 election and stop causing problems in Labour Party.
He noted that the Labour Party chairman in the state does not have any right to adopt Governor Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party as its candidate for the governorship election since the Labour Party has a candidate.
Speaking on Yes FM on Tuesday, Akinwale vowed not to step down for Governor Seyi Makinde, adding that he has more experience than the governor
Recall that LP chairman in the state, Mr Sadiq Atayese, on Sunday at a press conference said the state’s Working Committee of the party believed in the emergence of Makinde, a ‘candidate with character, competence and capacity’ in the interest of the citizens.
He, however, called on the electorate to vote for LP candidates in the state assembly elections, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
