The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde, has congratulated the people of the state on his adoption by a coalition of political parties in the state.
A statement from his campaign office signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade said that leaders of the parties, led by the Osi Olubadan High Chief Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Senator Femi Lanlehin, Barrister Sarafadeen Ali and Chief Bolaji Ayorinde SAN, displayed unsurpassed broadmindedness and political maturity in agreeing to adopt him to face the APC, which is the nemesis of our people.
According to the statement, “the milestone achievement has now paved the way for the PDP to coast home to victory with the support of other patriotic leaders.
“The APC will be overwhelmed and drowned in their attempt to rig the election through violence and votes manipulation.”
The statement said that “if the APC wishes, it can arrange a camp bed in Ibadan for their Lagos leader, our people will banish them out of our territory.”
Makinde said that the APC should look for another business center. ‘Oyo state is out of your stranglehold and out of bounds,” he said.
