They emphasized that Governor Makinde is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and has not indicated any intention to support the NNPP or Olopoeyan’s ambition.
The PDP egalitarian group urged the public to disregard Olopoeyan’s statement describing it as “a desperate attempt to seek attention”.

The group further warned Olopoeyan and his party to desist from spreading false information and to focus on their own political strategies.
‘’Our party will never go back to those days of political dealers which was championed by Olopoeniyan. When he left for NNPP, peace and tranquillity has been restored. ”
