Why Ladoja is yet to return to PDP

Fact have emerged on why the  leader of the Accord Party Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja is yet to conclude  whether to return to his former party, Peopleds Democratic Party. PDP or not.

 It would be recalled that Sen Ladoja became a bride to all political parties  after  the 2011 election  due to the role he played on helping Senator Abiola Ajimobi  of the Action Congress of Nigeria to win  defeat his former deputy and the incumbent  governor   Otunba Alao Akala.

 Immediately after the election the his former Party People’s democratic party PDP has since been trying to woo him back into the party but he refuses to yield to their calls due to their  inability to assent to his demands

 A source at the National Secretariat of the PDP informs that the Accord leader who is contemplating returning to PDP is allegedly demanding for 50 percent of the party executive and some key positions in case the party win the election in 2015.   Adding that the National Executive of the party  may not guarantee him his request but he will be given his due recondition as the leader of the party
 Meanwhile   some of the  PDP factional leaders in the state including former governor of the state Otunba Alao Akala, serving Minister of State for FCT, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, Ambassador  Taofeek Arapaja, and host of others are mounting pressure on senator Ladoja to return to PDP.

 Meanwhile  Political analyst in the state are of the opinion that Ladoja's return to PDP may dwindle the chances of the incumbent governor Sen Abiola Ajimobi or his part ACN to remain in government beyond 2015.
