GOVERNOR SEYI MAKINDE DEBUNKS REPORTS THAT HE HAS DEFECTED FROM PDP
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has debunked reports claiming that he has defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to another party.
In recent days, several reports had alleged that the Oyo state Governor had defected from the PDP to another party.
However, responding to the claims in a statement by the Governor's spokesman, Taiwo Adisa, he described the reports as 'a concocted falsehood from purveyors of fake news, who are bent on maligning the Governor.'
He said; “There is a concocted lie doing the rounds about Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State planning to dump the PDP.
“This is the latest in the rounds of false reports and fake news, weapons which some individuals have employed to wage needless war against the governor.
“It becomes imperative to attack the hydra-headed monster of fake news and false reports and this particular report raised all the red flags of fake news, as it was based on alleged hints from an individual who claimed not to want his name in print.”
Makinde, who said he has no plan to defect to another party, explained that he has remained a strong pillar of the PDP for many years and is already leading the mission for its resurgence in the South-West.
The Governor vowed not to be distracted by the rumor being circulated by those he described as 'enemies within and without'.
