Media personality, Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, has stated why Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde did not pick the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential form.
Speaking on Thursday during an interview programme on TVC, Kolade-Otitoju said Makinde knows he would not be on the ballot if he did not join the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
He ruled out what he described as the noise about merger, saying there is no merger without the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“Why did Makinde and his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Mohammed not obtain presidential form from the Taminu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP?
“Forget all the noise about the merger, you can’t do a merger without the regulator, INEC.
“APC came up with a merger back then around 2013 but not in this form. An individual cannot just get up having lost out in the power game and then say we have a merger,” he said.
