The Peoples Democratic Party has pledged to salvage Ondo State from underdevelopment if it emerges victorious in the forthcoming governorship election.
A PDP chieftain, Babatunde Faro, made this promise during an interview with journalists in Akure on Monday stressing that the party is positioned as a viable alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Faro expressed confidence in the PDP’s candidates, Agboola Ajayi and Festus Akingbaso, describing them as the best team to address the state’s economic challenges and restore its lost glory, according to Peoples Gazette.
He attributed the current economic hardship in Nigeria to the APC-led government’s failure to deliver on its promises, stating that the people of Ondo State will seek a better alternative in the PDP.
The PDP chieftain emphasized the need for change in the state’s leadership, describing the APC’s actions as a betrayal of trust.
“The APC-led government has failed to deliver on its promises, leaving Nigerians to grapple with unprecedented hardship.
“The people of Ondo State, in particular, have been severely affected, and they will not forget this come election time. In the PDP, we are poised to offer a better alternative and bring succour to the people,” he said.
The PDP chieftain described the APC’s actions as a betrayal of trust, hurting the people of the state.
“The APC has broken the trust of the people, and it’s time for a change.
“As the 2024 governorship election approaches, there is a growing discontent among Nigerians regarding the country’s economic situation,” he said.
