A PDP group in Oyo state, PDP RENEWAL has reacted to a promise purportedly made by governor Makinde that he would hand over mantle of power to an indigent of Oke Ogun come 2027.
The group in a statement signed by its chairman, Mr Wole Adeduntan reads in part:
“The attention of our group, PDP RENEWAL, has been drawn to the promise made by Gov Seyi Makinde to hand over the reigns of government to an indigent of Oke-Ogun in Year 2027.
“We viewed this statement credited to Gov Seyi Makinde to be deceitful, criminal and, exhibition of arrogance which Gov Seyi Makinde is known for. Before Governor Seyi Makinde made this empty and deceitful statement, he had already promised two indigents of Ibadan land at a different fora to help them become the Governor of Oyo State in Year 2027.
“In spite of our memberships in the Party, People’s Democratic Party, we believe that we should say the truths at all times. Our Governor who also doubled as our candidate is a well know agreement breaker.
“The people from Oke-Ogun extraction need to find out from the Governor why this kind of promise is being made now when we have a few days to the election. Is it because he had realized that the people of Oke-Ogun will vote against him?
“We strongly believe that the people of Oke-Ogun are very enlightened, exposed and politically mature . They will not fall to the trap of the outgoing Governor Seyi Makinde. We implore them to look into the antecedent of Gov Seyi Makinde who always break agreement.
“We want the people of Oke-Ogun and the State generally to cast their votes for Sen Kolawole Teslim Folarin who is contesting for the Governorship Election under the banner of All Progressives Congress (APC).
