A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoenia, has said some sycophants, who have formed a cabal around Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, want him out of the party. He said despite that he owed nobody any explanation or apology if he wished to leave the party, as a founding member of the PDP; sycophants could not move him out of the party.
Olopoenia spoke yesterday with reporters in Ibadan on the heels of a rumour that he had perfected plans to leave the PDP.
He said: “These sycophants want me out of the party by all means following my advice to the governor on the issue surrounding the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).”
Olopoenia noted that the issue of the NURTW was what bastardised the government of former governor Adebayo Alao Akala when he was in PDP.
He said to avoid history repeating itself, he advised Governor Makinde and others on the issue, “but these sycophants, who have formed a cabal around the governor and who have entered into an agreement with a faction of the NURTW, have started waging a war against me.
