Why PDP Will Win Ondo Governorship Election

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will win the forthcoming Ondo governorship election because it has learned from its past mistakes.

Makinde stated this on Tuesday at a meeting with Ondo PDP stakeholders at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

The Oyo governor stated that the PDP has learnt the “bitter” lessons from the 2020 governorship election in Ondo state, saying that the party must be united ahead of the election.

Makinde said the forthcoming governorship election will not be won on a platter of gold, adding that the PDP will fight hard to secure victory.

He said: “We have learnt from the last governorship election. Actually, you learn more when you fail than when you succeed. So, we learned bitter lessons.

“For the benefit of everybody, the governorship election in Ondo state is not going to be handed over to anybody. It will be a fight. As PDP, we will fight.

“If, in the past four years ago, we had that division within us that allowed the seat to slip away from us.

“At this time, we are united and we will stay united all the way to the election. So this is a time for us to come together.

“We may actually disagree on a few things, but from our own situation in Oyo state. Yes, we have disagreements, but we’re solving our problems even as we speak.

“We’re not solving it outside. We’re solving it right inside the government house.

“So, if you disagree, it’s normal. But let us win the government house and then all the areas of disagreement we will keep addressing it. We can only share success, failure is difficult to share.

“So, by God’s grace, we shall be successful in the forthcoming Ondo State governorship election.”
