Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, will be shocked by Ondo State’s governorship election on November 16.
Makinde also predicted setbacks for the ruling party in future elections in the Southwest geopolitical zone.
While emphasizing that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will defeat the governing party, Makinde, the PDP’s South West chairman, stated that the APC had become Nigerians’ adversary.
It should be recalled that Abdullahi Ganduje, the APC’s national chairman, claimed a few days ago in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, that the party will soon control the South West states after winning the Ondo poll.
The Oyo governor, who led the PDP campaign train to Ondo State’s Akoko axis, bragged that the PDP is still vibrant in the state.
According to him, the PDP is committed to winning the gubernatorial race. He insisted that both Ganduje and Aiyedatiwa will be surprised by the outcome of the next gubernatorial elections.
“If wishes were horses, everybody would be riding them. I can tell you that the people of the South West of Nigeria are wiser, especially in Ondo State, where we are here (Akoko area).
“You can see the crowd; look at the enthusiasm. On November 16th, they will tell him (Ganduje) that Ondo State and indeed Southwest are for the PDP. Well, talk, they say is cheap. You can say whatever you like with your mouth.
“The people of Ondo State will speak loud and clear on the 16th of November 2024, and then all of us in this country will hear it loud and clear.”
