Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party, declaring his comfort in the opposition party despite a growing wave of high-profile defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“No, I’m comfortable in the PDP,” Makinde told journalists after closed-door talks with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Thursday.
The Oyo governor emphasised that his visit to the President was focused on governance matters affecting the nation rather than party political considerations.
“The President is the President of Nigeria, not the President of APC. And we’re talking about governance here.
So I came to discuss with the President on some governance issues, basically,” Makinde said.
When pressed on whether recent public friction with other PDP stakeholders and his trip to meet the President signalled a shift toward the ruling party, Makinde affirmed that he was comfortable in his party.
The governor stressed that while he was willing to work with the President on matters of national interest, his party allegiance remained unwavering.
