The Secretary-General of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni, has returned to the fold of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after a brief stint with the Labour Party.
Ebiseni made his return on Wednesday evening when he stormed the PDP Secretariat in Alagbaka, Akure, the Ondo State capital.
We have gathered that the move by Ebiseni was hinged on his quest to contest for the governorship ticket of the PDP ahead of the 2024 polls in the state.
According to the scribe of the foremost Yoruba group, his sabbatical from the PDP had to do with his position in Afenifere.
Ebiseni, who disclosed that he never possessed any membership card other than the PDP, stated that he had come to serve as an agent of unification for the party.
He added that he had consulted widely with the leaders and stakeholders of the party before making the move.
“You will note that I have not been that available at the party. It is due to the assignment given to me by the Afenifere organisation to serve as its Secretary-General, which really took much of my time.
“I have always been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, and I do not have any other political party’s membership card other than that of the PDP.
“From now on, I will be much more available to serve as an agent of unity, peace, and unification. I have consulted widely with the leaders and stakeholders and solicited their full support as we strive to reclaim our dear Sunshine State from utter darkness.”
