Former House of Representatives Speaker Dimeji Bankole spoke on Sunday evening in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, while delivering the fifth anniversary lecture of the Ijebu News Xtra magazine.

He said:

“I feel sorry for President Buhari. He can’t solve the problem in four years. He needs a second term. No economic reform or policy can be formulated and implemented to produce the expected results within four years, it will take at least seven years.

“He is doing a thankless job, now like the teachers. No magic or miracle about this, we have to do the work and the government needs support. It is a long distance race.

“The question is what are you prepared to sacrifice? What risks are you going to take to make Nigeria better? We must make sacrifices to make the country work,” Bankole said.

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, on Sunday denied that he had defected from Nigeria’s ruling Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, to the Social Democratic Party, SDP. Mr. Bankole spoke through his media aide, Omodu Morgan. “I have not defected to Social Democratic Party,SDP, as speculated and reported in some media.

“The report contains no iota of truth. I am still a member of Board of Trustees,BOT, and National Executive Council member of Peoples Democratic Party,” Mr. Bankole said.

The ex-Speaker was rumoured to have dumped the Ogun PDP after losing out of the politicking that characterised the primaries of the party. However, on Sunday, he pledged his loyalty to the party. “I remain committed to my party,Peoples Democratic Party. I have no grudges against anybody,and I remain a loyal party member,and I have to repeat again I have not defected to SDP or any other party,” he said.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Sunday accused a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, of attempting to cut corners in securing the party’s ticket for the 2015 governorship election.

State Chairman of the party, Dayo Bayo, told journalists at the party secretariat located along Presidential Boulevard, Abeokuta, that he was not aware of Bankole’s ambition.

He said the party had observed that Mr. Bankole was not ready to follow due process, rather, wished to cut corners.

“I’m still saying that I am not aware that Dimeji Bankole is contesting the governorship in Ogun State”, Mr. Dayo said.

“The money we are using to run this party is enormous. Some people have been doing that for years.

“Somebody cannot just say because he has been to Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford, he’s coming to lead us overnight. It’s not going to happen.

“So, if you are contesting you must come to the state secretariat and obtain an Expression of Interest form.
