Makinde Lauds Adeleke’s Performance, Endorse 2nd term
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will teach the All Progressives Congress (APC) a political lesson in the 2026 Osun State election and the 2027 Oyo State election.
Makinde made this statement while commissioning some projects executed by Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, in Osogbo on Wednesday.
He described the ambition of the APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, to capture Osun and Oyo states as unrealistic.
Recall that Ganduje, speaking with journalists after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the APC candidate, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as the winner of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State, had said the APC would take over the South-West by 2027, with victories in Oyo and Osun states.
Makinde congratulated the people of Osun State on their choice to support Adeleke two years ago, saying the governor had been delivering dividends of democracy to his state. He praised Adeleke for continuing projects inherited from his predecessors, stressing that prioritizing value for public funds had been a hallmark of his administration in Oyo State over the past five years.
The governor also noted that one of the best ways to tackle the economic challenges facing Nigerians is for administrators to implement policies and projects that would impact their people. He commended Adeleke for doing well in this regard.
Makinde encouraged the electorate to stand firm behind Adeleke for another term of four years, noting that the two PDP governors had proven to be the real progressives in the South-West region with their pro-people policies and programmes.
