Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, has reacted to the antics of the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) national legal adviser.

Makinde briefing newsmen at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, claims that the legal adviser is deliberately truncating the peace of the party.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the crisis between Ayodele Fayose, ex-governor of Ekiti state, and Oyo state governor took another twist on Wednesday, February 24, as the former threatened the latter.
