Former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has set to settle the quarrel between Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, over the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Southwest.

It was gathered on Thursday that the Ex-Osun State Governor had reached out to the two leaders and they have indicated willingness to attend a reconciliation meeting he is planning for today (Friday).

Oyinlola has determined to bring the two leaders to a roundtable where they will iron out issues causing the rift between them.

The crisis has torn the party apart, as each faction has come up with a list of candidates for the zonal executive of the party.

The crisis started when Fayose accused Makinde of meddling in Ekiti PDP, which he considered as local. He said as the only PDP governor in the Southwest, Makinde does not have the right to meddle in internal crisis of the party in any state in the zone despite being the zonal leader.

But Makinde insisted that as the zonal leader, he is expected to ensure that crises within the party in the zone are resolved amicably, stressing that the health of the party was more important to him.
