The lingering political crisis in Ogun State may soon be over, as the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has started moves to resolve it.
Briefing newsmen in Abeokuta at the end of a closed door meeting, the Deputy National Vice Chairman of the party, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo,said that the current political imbroglio had some external influences.
He said,"I think we have some external forces trying to take advantage of the misunderstanding. Oladipo said that the party had to wade into the crisis because the PDP has a homogenous State House of Assembly .
"The rift between legislators and the executive has nothing to do with the PDP, but because we have a homogenous House of Assembly, the party has to come in and salvage the situation before it gets out of hand. You have to understand that there is a difference between government crisis and party crisis.
"I have spoken with the governor and the elders of our party from various zones. I think a solution is in sight. I want to go and have a talk with the legislators .I can assure you that it is after that that I will be able to go to the press in details. As at now,I have a one-sided story. I cannot judge from hearing only one side."
Meanwhile, the South West Coordinator of the Obasanjo Solidarity Forum (OSF), Alhaji Lekan Yusuff, has pleaded with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the Alake of Egbaland, the Awujale of Ijebuland and other leaders to resolve the political crisis now rocking Ogun State.
