Former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, has been taken back into the political party he dumped years ago, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

This was disclosed in a communiqué released on Wednesday after a meeting of the party in South West, which took place in Ondo State.

“That we welcome Governor Adewolu Rashidi Ladoja back to the fold of our Party as evidenced by his representatives at this meeting,” a part of the communiqué read.

Ladoja had become the governor of Oyo State under the platform of the PDP, but when he had issues with some leaders of the party, he pitched his tent elsewhere.

Last week, there were reports that Ladoja was planning a comeback to the group he once left.

Also at the meeting, which precisely held at the Ondo State International Culture and Events Centre (The Dome) Akure, it was agreed that it was “ripe for all members of the PDP in the Southwest to forge a common front and pursue a common agenda towards occupying their destined leadership position in Nigeria.”
