Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State says that the exit of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will not have any setback on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Atiku on Wednesday resigned his membership of PDP in Adamawa.

Makinde, who was the keynote Speaker at a Colloquium of the 10th Coronation Anniversary of Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Deji of Akure, stated this in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday in Akure.

“I don’t think that will create any dent on the PDP as a party. PDP is an institution and you have freedom of entry and exit,” he said.

The governor said that he did not see the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a threat to PDP but as a mere political party intended to contest in elections as PDP.
