According to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter for Oyo State, none of the candidates running for governor of the state in 2023 has the ability to unseat Governor “Seyi Makinde” given his track record of successful leadership.
The Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Oyo State, Engr. Akeem Olatunji, stated this in an interview on Wednesday.
The current governor, according to the ruling party, would easily defeat the candidates for governor of the Accord Party and the All Progressives Congress, Senator Teslim Folarin and Bayo Adelabu.
He said that because Governor Makinde had put in such a lot of effort on behalf of the state’s citizens, they would thank him by electing him to another four-year term at the polls.
“Adelabu and Folarin are comedians. They are only on the stage to entertain the people of Oyo State. They are not strong contenders and this is what you can get if you go round the state. They are no match for Governor ‘Seyi Makinde.
“The massive infrastructure which the administration has given the people of Oke–Ogun will speak for Governor ‘Seyi Makinde. This will transform into votes. The LAUTECH crisis which the governor was able to resolve after so many years will make the people vote for him again. The APC governors could not resolve it even when their current presidential candidate, ( Asiwaju Bola Tinubu) was the chancellor of the university, they could not resolve it, but Governor Makinde did it. Students wasted about three years at home because of the crisis.
“In Ibadan, many developmental projects have been done and many are still going on. Those ones will count for him when it is election time.
“Apart from those ones, salaries and pensions are paid regularly because their welfare is uppermost in the mind of the governor. Our pensioners are no more dying of hunger. You will discover that about N12 billion is being injected into the economy of the state.
