A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Ebenezer Babatope, on Saturday said that the exit of Prof. Tunde Adeniran and Prof. Jerry Gana from PDP would not diminish the party’s strength.
Babatope said that although the two politicians contributed greatly to the PDP, the party should respect their decision to leave and move on.
He said there was no need calling for their return to the PDP as they were competent adults.
“Both Prof. Adeniran and Prof, Gana were strong members of the PDP; unfortunately, they have left; there is nothing anybody can do about that.
“I am not one of those calling for their return to the PDP because they have the democratic right to join any party that suits them.
“Again, they are competent and intelligent adults who must have reasoned very well before they took the decision.
“Even though the feeling might not be too good, being that I have known them for long, especially Adeniran, I cannot fault or stop their decisions.
“ I believe the PDP will remain strong even with their exit, as the party was built on strong foundations and not personalities ,’’ he said.
