Ahead of the March 11 governorship election, the coast is clearer for the candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP) and the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde as the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) caucus within the PDP endorsed his second term bid.
The ZLP caucus expressed satisfaction with the giant stride of the governor’s administration, urging the residents of the state to troop out on Saturday, March 11 to cast their votes to return the governor for second term tenure.
The group made the call during its stakeholders meeting held in Ibadan, the state capital on Wednesday.
The call was amidst the various endorsements of the second term bid of Governor Makinde by notable groups across the state.
The leadership of the group comprising co-ordinators across the 33 local governments made a commitment to ensure that the governor is re-elected.
In a communique signed by it’s chairman and Secretary, Comrade Wole Abisoye and Mr. Sulaiman Adedokun respectively, the group commended the governor for many development recorded in various areas of the state.
“It is glaring to everyone, including the opposition that in the last four years, Governor Seyi Makinde has taken the pace setter state to an unprecedented level in terms of infrastructure, educational development, increased internal generated revenue”, the communique read in part.
It added, “since its inception, the administration of Governor Makinde has never denied any worker, his or her due, a situation common with the last APC administration. It is to glory of God that Makinde was given to the state since 2019, because only God knows how many of our senior citizens would have died of starvation, as a result of non payment of their gratuities. For this special achievement of the governor, workers and retirees in many states in Nigeria are envious of their counterparts in Oyo state”.
The group, however, cautioned the opposition to stop playing the politics of calumny and play the game according to the rule.
It, therefore, reassured the people of Oyo State that the dividend of democracy they are presently enjoying will continue during the second term of the governor by the grace of God.
