Makinde Calls Ondo Election a Litmus Test for Change, Urges Voters to Reject APC

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has called on the people of Ondo State to make a bold statement in the forthcoming gubernatorial election on Saturday, urging them to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a response to the country’s economic struggles.

He emphasized that the election presents an opportunity for Nigerians to demonstrate that their collective anger and hunger for change can lead to real improvements in governance.

In a newsletter released on Thursday night, Makinde described the election as a “litmus test” for Nigerians.

He urged the electorate to turn out in large numbers, expressing that their votes could send a strong message about their desire for effective leadership.

“It’s time for Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as the party that can help rescue Nigeria from its economic challenges.

The PDP governors have shown that they can deliver development where it matters most,” Makinde said.

He added that, despite the country’s ongoing difficulties, the PDP remains the only party capable of lifting Nigeria from its economic troubles.

Citing the achievements of PDP-led states, Makinde pointed out that Oyo State, under his leadership, had made significant strides in infrastructure, education, and economic development.

“Let me encourage everyone in Ondo State to come out this Saturday and make a bold statement. The PDP is the party that can deliver the change that Nigerians deserve. Look at the work being done by PDP governors. We have consistently delivered a people-first agenda,” he said.

Makinde further shared that the Oyo State government had recently presented its “Budget of Economic Stabilisation,” designed to improve the state’s infrastructure and economy.
