The statement read in part:
“We, the chairmen of PDP in Ogun, Osun, Ekiti and the Lagos states met in Lagos today, to review events concerning the zonal congress of the party.
“To us, Governor Makinde has remained the problem of the party in the South-West zone. We have never had a divided zonal congress until now that he is a governor.
“The whole zone is tired of his divisive acts. He should make his threat real and defect to any other party of his choice as he has been doing since 2007. “We say it clearly that if he has any action to take, let him go ahead and take it now."
