Afenifere’s Secretary-General, Ebiseni quits Labour Party, joins PDP

• According to reports, Ebiseni’s return to the PDP was spurred by his gubernatorial ambition as he’s eyeing the governorship ticket of the party ahead of the 2024 polls in the state

The Secretary-General of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni, has rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after a brief spell with the Labour Party.

Ebiseni made his return to the opposition party on Wednesday evening when he visited the PDP Secretariat in Alagbaka, Akure, the Ondo State capital.

According to reports, Ebiseni’s return to the PDP was spurred by his gubernatorial ambition as he’s eyeing the governorship ticket of the party 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 unity 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.”
