PDP drags Makinde, Fayose before Saraki panel

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dragged the Oyo State, Governor Seyi Makinde and former Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose before the Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation and strategic committee.

The move was sequel to the festering disagreement between the serving Governor and the former governor over control of the PDP in the Southwest zone.

The disagreement has caused hiccups in the planned congress in the Southwest, forcing the leadership of the PDP to put the exercise on hold.

In a statement on Wednesday by spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said an ongoing legal tussle by two camps loyal to Makinde and Fayose had stalled the exercise.
