Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will reclaim Ondo State from the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the November 2024 governorship election.
Makinde made this assertion on Monday while hosting leaders of the party from the South-West geopolitical zone, who converged on Ibadan to kick-start the process of reconciling PDP factions in Ondo State.
Ondo State is currently under the leadership of APC.
Makinde noted that the PDP family has begun to speak with one voice, and the party can unseat the APC in the forthcoming election in Ondo State.
He added that PDP governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi, and other parties would team up to ensure that the party has a strong showing at the polls.
Speaking further, he said that all PDP leaders and stakeholders from across the six South-West states are behind the Ondo PDP candidate.
He said: “Our candidate, HE Agboola Ajayi, is here and the first step forward for us is to reconcile all the tendencies in Ondo State. This is because once we have a unified PDP in Ondo State, we have a path to the Alagbaka Government House.
“To God be the glory, we have spoken as one family. Our candidate has also been able to key into that process.
“So, for us, people should expect a very strong showing from the PDP in Ondo State in November, by the grace of God.”
