Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has dismissed rumours of a possible defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, saying he remains comfortable in the opposition party.

Makinde spoke with journalists at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday amid his visit to the Presidential Villa.

In a video aired by the NTA, Makinde, responding to questions on his political future, said, “No, no, no. I’m comfortable in the PDP.”

“And again, we may have issues in this country where you need a bipartisan approach. Where it won’t be an issue of maybe APC talking alone or PDP talking alone, where we will have to look at what is the best foot forward, in the interest of our nation.

“So when you get to that junction, you need everybody on board.”
