The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared its support for the former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, ahead of the forthcoming PDP zonal congress in the South West.

Anaedoonline.ng reports that Fayose and the incumbent Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, have been having a cold war over the leadership of the PDP in the South West region.

Fayose had earlier warned Gov Makinde not to dabble into the affairs of the party in other southwest states on the claim that he is the only PDP governor in the region.
