Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial Candidate in Oyo North, Hon Akinwale Solomon Akinwole, has said Governor Seyi Makinde has never pronounced or declared support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Wolekanle, as he is fondly called, said the misinformation is a ploy by the opposition to confuse the electorate, which is already determined to vote massively for PDP.
He said, “I have met with the governor, and at no point did he declare support for the presidential candidate of other parties, not even ethnicity or regional sentiment.”
“Governor Makinde has consistently been telling his supporters and people of Oyo State that the interest of the PDP is paramount to him, and he would ensure that PDP wins Oyo State at national and state elections, and he is working towards that.”
He added that the governor will address party stakeholders on his position very soon and allay their fear of PDP losing Oyo State.
While cautioning the aggrieved PDP members who are conniving with the opposition to fan embers of division among party members, the Ogbomoso-born party chieftain expresses optimism that PDP will win all electoral seats in the 2023 election.
