The Secretary-General of the pan-Yoruba socio-political group Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni, has rejoined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) after a brief stint with the Labour Party.
The return, made official on Wednesday evening, saw Ebiseni visit the PDP Secretariat in Alagbaka, Akure, the capital of Ondo State.
Sources indicate that Ebiseni’s decision is motivated by his aspiration to secure the PDP’s gubernatorial ticket for the 2024 elections in Ondo State.
Explaining his hiatus from the PDP, the prominent figure in Yoruba politics cited his role in Afenifere as the primary reason.
Speaking on the matter, Ebiseni clarified that his loyalty had always been with the PDP, and he had never held membership in any other political party.
He expressed his commitment to acting as a unifying force within the party and highlighted extensive consultations with PDP leaders and stakeholders preceding his return.

As the political landscape evolves, Ebiseni’s move is poised to shape the dynamics of the upcoming elections in Ondo State.
“You will note that I have not been that available at the party. It is due to the assignment given to me by the Afenifere organisation to serve as its Secretary-General, which really took much of my time.
“I have always been a member of the People’s Democratic Party, and I do not have any other political party’s membership card other than that of the PDP.
“From now on, I will be much more available to serve as an agent of unity, peace, and unification. I have consulted widely with the leaders and stakeholders and solicited their full support as we strive to reclaim our dear Sunshine State from utter darkness.”
