KAYODE FALADE
Leader of the Social Democratic Party
and former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, has said he has
yet to return to the All Progressives Party.
He, however, said talks are ongoing to ensure his reconciliation with the APC.
Osoba defected from the APC in the build up to the 2015 general elections and co-founded the SDP.
The former APC chieftain spoke against the background of his current noticeable hobnobbing with chieftains of the ruling party.
Osoba on Saturday told our correspondent
on the telephone that talks were in top gear between him and the top
echelon of the APC on what he called “an amicable reconciliation.”
When asked if he had returned to the
APC, Osoba replied, “No, no. But there is an ongoing discussion between
us but there is no final decision yet. I believe that the good cause of
the Yoruba and the nation will give us the grace to come to an amicable
reconciliation.”
The ex-governor told our correspondent
that the split between him and the other progressives prior to the 2015
general election was nothing personal.
He said the issues which led to his departure from the APC were being discussed and addressed in the ongoing talks.
Osoba noted that he had been a progressive and remained one; which was why he had not crossed to the conservatives.
