Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has called on the people of Ondo State to seize the opportunity of the upcoming governorship election to make their voices heard and demand better leadership. In his appeal, Makinde described the election as a critical moment for Nigerians to use their votes as a tool for change.
In a statement titled “It’s Time to Make a Bold Statement”, released on Thursday night, Makinde encouraged voters to support the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He emphasized that the party has a proven track record of delivering good governance and addressing the challenges Nigeria faces today.
Makinde stated, “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 Stabilisation.
“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.
