Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has called on the people of Ondo State to vote in large numbers in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party on the Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
He emphasized the importance of the election in the state with a call on voters to seize the opportunity to express their frustration with the current administration and demand real change.
Makinde encouraged those who support responsible leadership to back the Peoples Democratic Party, arguing that the party is best positioned to address the country’s ongoing economic challenges, according to Daily Post.
He highlighted the achievements of PDP-led states as evidence of the party’s ability to effectively govern and drive development.
The governor described the election as a critical test for the nation, urging Nigerians to demonstrate that their collective dissatisfaction could lead to meaningful change. He stressed that the PDP’s governance model, as seen in states like Oyo, provides a clear alternative to the current administration’s policies.
Makinde also pointed to the recent presentation of the “Budget of Economic Stabilization” in Oyo State as an example of the PDP’s focus on people-centered development. He noted that the budget was designed to improve infrastructure, education, and economic progress, and projected that Oyo State would see further development in the coming years.
Looking ahead, Makinde expressed confidence that the country’s economic outlook would improve by 2025 if Nigerians continued to make decisions that prioritize the welfare of the people and the nation’s long-term prosperity.
“Let me begin by encouraging everyone in Ondo State to come out this Saturday and make a bold statement in the Ondo State elections. Let all supporters of good governance stand up and say enough of the APC and its lack of people-centred policies. It is time for Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as the party that can help Nigeria overcome the economic challenges it faces.
“I want to remind you that Ondo State is a litmus test for Nigerians to show that their hunger and anger can bring about real change.
“Tell everyone you know that the PDP is the party that can rescue Nigeria. If you are still undecided, look at all the efforts being made by PDP governors for their people. Just yesterday, we presented our Budget of Economic Stabilization.
“As always, it was a people-first budget. Based on data from previous years, there is a 7:10 chance of us successfully implementing the items in the budget. So, the people of Oyo State can expect more infrastructure development, more educational projects, and greater economic progress.
“In conclusion, economically, we look forward to better times in 2025. We just have to keep pushing and making the right decisions in the overall interest of our people and our nation,” Makinde stated.
