The leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West have called for sanction on Senator Buruji Kashamu and others who plunged the party into needless crisis and also warned members against colluding with those who want to destabilize the party.
In a communique at the end of their meeting in Ibadan on Monday, they also directed the Ogun State chapter of the party to take appropriate steps to punish the senator and others who colluded with him.
This is just as Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, said he would declare his presidential ambition openly on October 1, this year.
In his opening remarks, Fayose, who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said the recent judgment of the Supreme Court that recognised Senator Ahmed Makarfi as the National Chairman of the party, was for Nigerians as a whole.
The governor said the second chance given the party by the judgment must not be misused.
