In a final push ahead of Saturday’s election in Ondo State, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has called on Nigerians to seize this moment as a critical test of their collective will for change.
He emphasised that this election presents an opportunity for the people of Ondo to channel their frustration and aspirations into a decisive call for better governance.
In a compelling statement released Thursday night, titled “It’s Time to Make a Bold Statement,” Makinde urged Ondo residents to turn out in force on Election Day, asserting that their vote would send a powerful message about their commitment to securing a future marked by effective leadership.
Makinde championed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the only political force capable of addressing Nigeria’s current economic struggles and ushering in meaningful reform.
Citing the successes of PDP-led states, he argued that the party’s track record proves it has the capability to drive the kind of development that Nigeria desperately needs. For those who value progress and good governance, he stressed, the choice on Saturday is clear: vote PDP.
“Let me begin by encouraging everyone in Ondo State to come out this Saturday and make a bold statement in the Ondo State elections. Let all supporters of good governance stand up and say enough of the APC and its lack of people-centred policies. It is time for Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as the party that can help Nigeria overcome the economic challenges it faces.
“I want to remind you that Ondo State is a litmus test for Nigerians to show that their hunger and anger can bring about real change. Tell everyone you know that the PDP is the party that can rescue Nigeria. If you are still undecided, look at all the efforts being made by PDP governors for their people. Just yesterday, we presented our Budget of Economic Stabilisation.
“As always, it was a people-first budget. Based on data from previous years, there is a 7:10 chance of us successfully implementing the items in the budget. So, the people of Oyo State can expect more infrastructure development, more educational projects, and greater economic progress.
“In conclusion, economically, we look forward to better times in 2025. We just have to keep pushing and making the right decisions in the overall interest of our people and our nation,” Makinde stated.
