A 2019 House of Representatives hopeful for Ijebu Central Federal Constituency, Barrister Taiwo Shote (BTS), has lauded the former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and the lawmaker representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Senator Buruji Kashamu, for their decision to resolve their differences, saying it will reunite and reposition the Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2019 general election.
In a statement issued by his media office on Tuesday, Shote described "the decision of both leaders to end their age-long political differences as divinely-inspired, especially in this Holy month of Ramadan".
The statement reads in part: "As one of the few people who saw first-hand the camaraderie, respect and love that both leaders showed towards each other when they met in Abuja last week, I can say it is the beginning of bigger and better things to come the way of our great party, the PDP in Ogun State.
"His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel is an experienced politician, leader and proven organiser. Senator Kashamu is a political strategist and a grassroot mobilizer. Nothing is as good as having both of them under one umbrella.
"The electorate have not been happy that the party that brought so much development to Ogun State is in disarray. They have been yearning for reconciliation and unity. That is what our leaders have begun and it behoves on all of us as followers to key into it.
"Our party now has an unbeatable team to tackle the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and displace it. We are approaching 2019 elections as a formidable team."
Shote urged party faithful to swing into action in their respective local government areas and wards by spreading the gospel of the unity of the foremost leaders of the party to the electorate.
"We need to let them know that our leaders - His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel (Governor of Ogun State 2003 -2011) and Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu - have hearkened to their plea, resolved their differences and reunited," Shote said.
He also commended the lawmaker Representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Senator Ben-Murray Bruce for seeing through the peace initiative.
