Real Reason Ladoja Was Absent At Makinde's Inauguration

While many political bigwigs in Oyo State and across the South West, especially the PDP stalwarts, yesterday, were present at Obafemi Awolowo Stadium (formerly Liberty Stadium, venue of inauguration ceremony of Engr. Seyi Makinde as the executive governor of the state, one man who was conspicuously absent is the former Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja.

And the Party condemns in totality, the disparaging campaign against our very endearing son, Sen. Godswill Akpabio as evil fireworks meant to generate bad blood and disaffection in our party in this trying time. Accordingly, the party warns such non-existent group claiming to be an affiliate of APC in the State to desist forthwith from such nefarious engagement as there is no provision in the APC constitution that grants such power (s ) to anyone or group to dabble int
