Oyinlola who spoke on Thursday at the South-West PDP Reconciliation Commmittee with Lagos State PDP Special Stakeholders  said that he didn’t see reason the party should not be united , stressing that they were in power, but lost out  because they refused to unite and unfortnately allowed gaps and power was taken over from them

 “One thing that must be done is to get to the root cause of the problem.We are mandated to get our report ready before the end of his month. I was once a military administrator of Lagos State and all the people involved are known to me. I have a step ahead in  getting solution. I appeal to party members to cooperate with the committee so that we can bring our party to the winning line,” he said.

Dr. Remi Akitoye, a member of Board of Trustees in his welcome address lamented that a former governor of  Ekiti State has been coming to Lagos State to cause confusion in the party and divided the executive committee members of the party. He stressed that exterous influence has been the major cause of Lagos PDP problem. He prayed that God would give the chairman the wisdom to resolve the issue. He appealed to Oyinlola to reconcile the Lagos State exco.

The contributions from party members who expressed their views on the Lagos PDP crisis included request that the five leaders of the party, in the person of Chief Bode George, former deputy national chairman of the PDP,  Mrs Aduke Maina, Dr  Abimbpla  Ogunkelu, Capt. Tunji Shelle and Engr. Adedeji Doherty be consulted as the reconciliation progresses. It was also an opportunity for Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele to commend Chief Bode George who she said was the sole financier of party in Lagos State and should be appreciated by members of the party.
