Speaking in Ibadan after a meeting of the South-West PDP Caucus, Makinde declared the party remains united and undivided in the region.
According to him, PDP leaders have resolved to address internal challenges and strengthen the party.
“We want the whole world to know that the PDP in the South-West is united and we are together and that the coalition is not a threat to the PDP,” the governor said.
He questioned the credibility of those forming new coalitions, asking what they truly offer beyond political recycling.
“Does it mean that anytime they move from one party to the other, they have repented or they have something new to offer the people?” he asked.
Makinde likened the party to a house worth repairing rather than abandoning. “If the roof is leaking… are we going to abandon the building and go somewhere else? No. We will stay inside here and fix it,” he said.
