The two politicians entered into a close door meeting to harmonize their thoughts and plans, the meeting which lasted for almost 45mins yielded positive results as they both came up with great optimism.

Otunba Showunmi while charging his loyalists said "My people, no more war. I am pleading with you to go back home and work for PDP. The first election was tribalistic, it was vote for Yoruba agenda. This coming election is for what concerns you and I. This coming elections is for Hon. Ladi Adebutu. He is friendly and accommodating. Do whatever you can do to ensure PDP emerges, there’s no crisis again.”

While reacting to the new development Hon. Ladi Adebutu said the journey to secure the party ticket as the Governorship candidate has been tough, explaining the party just received the 8th Supreme Court Judgment which now paved the way for him to contest the elections.

The governorship candidate disclosed that number of his loyalists who recently joined forces with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have all along being a burden, adding that their exit is a big relief for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Adebutu who expressed optimism of winning the governorship poll, disclosed that the alleged moles used resources of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to garner votes for the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the recently concluded Presidential election

“Some moles within the Peoples Democratic Party, who are pretenders used our resources to work for All Progressives Congress at the just concluded presidential elections. They are burden to us and we try to manage them, offer them financial support every month’, he said.

“Their exit is now a relief for us, and they cannot last more than 90 days, thank God we know them earlier enough and strike them out. PDP is now free. My mission to become the Governor is to repair the state”, Adebutu emphasized.

The former member of House of Representatives said those who left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join All Progressives Congress (APC), are expired products, that will not last more than 90 days, stressing that their antecedents showed that it’s their habitual characters.

He thanked Otunba Segun Showunmi for creating room for reconciliation.
