He encouraged everyone in Ondo State to come out and vote, stressing that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is the party that can rescue Nigeria from its current economic challenges. Makinde argued that the PDP has a proven track record of delivering development in states where it is in power, describing the Ondo election as a “litmus test” for Nigerians.
Makinde pointed to the efforts of PDP governors, including his administration in Oyo State, as evidence of the party’s commitment to people-centred policies. For instance, he highlighted the recent presentation of the Budget of Economic Stabilisation, which prioritizes infrastructure development, education, and economic progress.
The Ondo State governorship election is scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024. Incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will face off against 16 other candidates, including Agboola Ajayi of the PDP.
The election will be a significant test for the APC, which has held power in the state since 2017. Given the governor’s influence in the region, Makinde’s endorsement of the PDP candidate is likely to boost Ajayi’s chances.
