A former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, has joined the race for the office of the National Chairmanship of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ladoja had a few weeks ago returned to the PDP having left the party to join Accord Party about eight years ago.
The constitution of the PDP stipulates that a member of the party will need to remain a member for two consecutive years before he could contest any elective election, therefore, Ladoja would need a waiver from the party’s National Executive Committee to be cleared for the contest.
It would recalled that Ladoja was among other Chairmanship aspirants who met with the members of the National Caretaker Committee of the party on Tuesdaypresided over by Senator Ahmed Makarfi, Chairman of the caretaker committee of the PDP.
Others at the meeting were Chief Bode George; Prof. Tunde Adeniran; Prof. Taoheed Adedoja; Mr. Jimi Agbaje; Prince Uche Secondus; Chief Raymond Dokpesi and Chief Gbenga Daniel.
