Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun on Tuesday advised his counterpart from
Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose to face the reality of the death of his political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Aregbesola stated this when Fayose paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Osogbo...
He said while he is not asking the governor to abandon the PDP against his wish, he would only advise him to join hands with a political party that will give hope to the people of Nigeria.
He also charged the Ekiti State governor to direct his energy towards bringing human and physical development to western region and Nigeria as a whole.
He said, “Osoko has said that he is not going to leave his party, but the reality today is that PDP has served its term in Nigeria. When a horse is dead, it is either you abandon it or you bury it.
“I want my good friend and brother to know that PDP has exhausted it’s stay in Nigeria, it can no longer be revived, let us look at a political party that will give hope to our people. Opposition must be for a purpose, I stand by you on the unity of Yoruba land and that our leaders not put down in the country.
“The war is over, we are in a season of mobilising our people to agriculture and produce such that we will economically have the strength to give leadership to the Nation and Africa. Our energy must be directed at bringing human and physical development, we have enough in this region to give leadership.”
In his response, Fayose said he is in Osun not for any political reasons, and that he is not ready to abandon the PDP for the APC, but for his belief in the Yoruba race and her development and unity.
He said, “The country is facing a very serious crises with the rate at which the crude oil price is falling. There is an invasion on the economy to the level that we are loosing 75 percent of our income which is not good.
“At this point, wise people must have an alternative to oil which part of it is your visit. We must use our culture and affinity to form a bond that can make our people live a normal life, it is a duty that we owe our people, States and Nigeria as a whole.”
