Senator representing Ekiti South at the National Assembly, Biodun Olujimi, has expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will win three more states in the Southwest region on or before the 2023 general elections.
The chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), told DAILY POST after the 2021 PDP national convention in Abuja.
In recent times, there has been leadership tussle among party members in the region.
Speaking on the party crisis, the lawmaker said: “The problem of the South West is that, we have too many educated people and we have too many people who are extremely intelligent, and you know when you have intelligent people, you will definitely must have problems and they don’t find it necessary to line up behind their only Governor in the zone and that is a thing that hunts all of us.

“Because we have been in that situation before and we lined up behind the only known Governor we had in the zone. I believe after this convention, we will be able to throw everything down again on the table.
“What has happened to us is what happens to people that know too much and do not believe in God, because when you believe in God, you must know that all these things will come to an end one day.
“So, I believe going forward, the South West, the Governor will have to be the father and forget everything that has been done to him, and bring us all back together”,

Speaking further, she said, “fences are really many, I don’t lie to myself. Some of them, we have snakes and cobras living in them and you know before you mend such fences, you must first kill the cobra and the black mamba and the scorpions and then you can now mend fences.
“But I know that God, being with us, will be able to also forge the unity that the North has shown us, that, that zone is formidable enough to be able to say go and sit down, this is where we are going and everyone will go there and that’s the way to go in Nigeria.
“We should be able to balance issues, we should be able to balance power and except we balance power, we won’t be able to move forward. I believe we will be able to work as a team if we keep working, it is work in progress.
“We are expecting that we will do very well. At least, we are expecting 3 additional states to be won for PDP in South West”.
