According to Adeleke, the importance of unity among the past and present leaders of the PDP in the southwest was crucial to repositioning the opposition.
How the PDP crisis started in southwest
Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the PDP in the southwest broke ties with the party’s national body over the leadership organisation.
Many leaders in the region were against the presidential candidate and national chairman coming from the north, a call that was given a deaf year by the PDP national.
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP in the election and former national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, posited that the party’s leadership hierarchy will be restructured after the election.
This decision was one of the factors that made the PDP to lose in the 2023 presidential election to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
But Governor Adeleke said he was on the path to unite the PDP. He said:
“We discussed the importance of unity among the leaders and members of our party in the South West region, both past and present,, Mr Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose),step to repositioning the party at the National level.”
