Wole Oyelese, a former Minister of Mines and Steel Development, has chastised the five disgruntled governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for conspiring against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Oyelese, an ardent member of the party in Oyo State, stated that Atiku is the party’s symbol and that anyone who works against him is a “saboteur.”
The former minister also revealed that he purposefully skipped Thursday’s campaign rally in Ibadan for Governor Seyi Makinde’s re-election because he does not support the actions of the five governors.
He said;
I couldn’t have been there because the so-called G5 governors are working against the presidential candidate of the party who is the symbol of the party. For any serious politician, you will not attend such a function. By attending, it will be like an indirect way of approving what they are doing.
Our knowledge of politics can never be the same. A serious politician who understands politics will not attend. Have you asked yourself why Ademola Adeleke who is the current Governor of Osun State and PDP Governor in the South-West was not there? Why Adebutu was not there?
You remember, Adebutu sent someone to us yesterday (Wednesday) to participate in our Freedom March. If you check the flag-off, nobody from Ekiti State, nobody from Ondo. Fayose is one of the people supporting G5. Even though, we don’t know why they are supporting the G5.
So, I couldn’t have been there. That means I’m rnor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan because he is not in support of the actions of the five governors.
