Our heads remain unbowed in PDP-Makinde
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde said himself and other allies of their Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike will continue to fight for justice in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Makinde who was speaking at the unveiling of the Emohua campus of Rivers State University on Wednesday said their heads will continue to remain unbowed.
The allies of Wike are calling for the resignation of the National Chairman of the PDP, alleging marginalisation towards the South within the party.
According to them it was wrong for the national chairman of the party and the chairman, Board of Trustees to come from the North while the presidential candidate is also from the North.
Makinde said he and his colleagues will continue to fight for their “space” in the party.
“Even the fight that we lost, we did not lose with our heads bowed. We stood for the truth and for what is good for the country.
“We will continue to fight for our space within the PDP. We will fight for what is good for our people,” he said.
Also speaking, Wike said no one can prevent him from speaking on the happenings in the party.
“That is why I am telling the people there, ‘look, it cannot work; you can’t take everything. If you take everything, it will purge you. So, better do the right thing now’.
“Don’t sit there and think that you can muzzle me and you can do everything; you can manipulate anything. You can think you have the number to make sure you take everything, but the time is coming when you will account for it.
“If any PDP state is not doing well, don’t think you will be voted for because APC is not doing well. If in PDP state, for example, if in Rivers State, we didn’t do well, then you’ll say because APC did not do well at the national level, then the people will vote for us.
“They’ll tell you ‘PDP, you didn’t do well in Rivers State’. People don’t understand that. And that is why the party should respect us and know that we are the ones campaigning for the party, because we have what to use to campaign,” Wike said.
