Seyi-Makinde (1).webp
The Digest:

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has framed the ongoing PDP national convention as a pivotal moment that will redefine the opposition party's future trajectory. According to TheCable, Makinde addressed delegates in Ibadan, acknowledging the significant legal and internal battles required to reach this stage despite multiple court injunctions.

Key Points:
  • Governor Makinde declared the convention a "turning point" for the PDP
  • The event proceeded despite conflicting court orders from Abuja and Oyo
  • A Federal High Court in Abuja had restrained the party from holding the convention
  • An Oyo State High Court later ordered the party to proceed as scheduled
  • Makinde acknowledged the "long stretch of battle" to reach this point
  • The convention represents a critical moment for party unity and direction
  • Legal challenges highlighted deep internal divisions within the opposition
As the party navigates between court rulings and internal reconciliation, this convention represents not just a procedural event but a test of whether opposition unity can be forged through persistence rather than perfect consensus.
