We ‘II reclaim Ondo from APC- Makinde, Adeleke, PDP leaders boast

Two governors of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West, Seyi Makinde (Oyo State) and Ademola Adeleke (Osun State) have boasted to reclaim Ondo State from the All Progressives Congress, APC in the November governorship election.

Addressing journalists after a meeting with the PDP governorship candidate in Ondo state, Agboola Ajayi and other leaders of the party in Ibadan, Oyo state on Monday, said the party had reconciled its differences.

According to the governor, 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 before 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.

“With our leaders from across the South-West standing behind our candidates in the state, I think it is a strong signal to the present occupier of the Ondo Government House. The PDP is coming and it will happen.”

Similarly, Osun State governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, said the South-West PDP came together to deliberate on the affairs of the party regarding the forthcoming election in Ondo State.

Adeleke said: “As you can see, everyone is happy as it is a family affair. We came over to Oyo State to meet with our brother, His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, to deliberate on the PDP affairs as touching Ondo State.

“Of course, we congratulate our brother, Agboola, who won the primary, which went very well. Everybody now knows that PDP is a democratic party because we followed due process.

“We also want to begin the reconciliation process, because we know some people are upset and we believe our leaders will go back home to bring everybody together. Even Governor Makinde and I would be invited to Akure to see how we can move forward in the state ahead of the election in November.”
