PDP is finished in Oyo –Ladoja

former Oyo State Governor, Rashidi Ladoja

Former Oyo State Governor Rashidi Ladoja has said the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer a formidable force in the state.

Ladoja, who said this on Thursday while receiving former PDP Chairman in Ibadan North-West Local Government, Remi Ayodele, and his supporters into the party, predicted the dominance of the Accord Party (his party) in the state.

Ladoja, who ruled the state under the umbrella of the PDP and contested the 2011 governorship poll under the banner of the AP, said those still in the PDP were wasting their time.

He boasted that the AP would win the local government whenever the election is conducted.

He said, “We are here to welcome people into our party. Today in Ibadan North-West, everything called PDP is finished. Then, there was a party called PDP but now they are finished. PDP, rest in peace in Ibadan North West.

“We buried the PDP in Ajaawa and today is North-West. People are surprised that people are leaving the party governing to come to Accord Party. I have received people from the ruling party into Accord. This is unprecedented.

“Those still left in the PDP should join the train. Baba Obafemi Awolowo said people of like minds will be together. People make party; party don’t make people. We don’t use guns and we bring succour to people.

“Accord will become the third party in Nigeria. They can’t rule Oyo without Accord. We are firm in the state. Don’t let anybody deceive you.”
