Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and his Osun State counterpart, Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, have aligned to strengthen the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West zone.
The governor who stated this while addressing newsmen shortly after a meeting with the governor of Osun State, at the courtesy room of the Governor’s Office, Agodi, Ibadan added that the alignment will foster unity and progress in the party.
Makinde described Adeleke as his brother and said their meeting was centered around the unity and well-being of the PDP and the development of the South-West geopolitical zone.
He said: “Like my brother said, we are one. We discussed issues around the unity of our party in the South-West and alignment, and we are aligned. I can assure you that we will do what we are supposed to do.”
Also speaking, Governor Adeleke lauded Governor Makinde for his giant strides in infrastructure development in Oyo State, noting that his government had been toeing the same path of massive infrastructure development in Osun State.
He added that they both had a robust discussion on the South-West PDP and have resolved to be on the same page.
“I am proud to be here in Oyo State, because we are brothers. I am just coming from my working vacation in Bangkok, Thailand, and I felt that coming from Lagos, I could not just go home but pay a visit to my brother, Governor Seyi Makinde, to tell him that I am back.
“I love him and I want to tell him that he is doing a good job in Oyo State. I want to give him a report card on the infrastructure he is doing in the state, which made him win a second term.’’
