Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on Wednesday has said it
is time for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rescue Nigeria from the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Makinde, made this disclosure when he received the Governor
of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who was on a courtesy visit to the state.
Wike was accompanied to Ibadan by a former Governor of
Rivers State, Celestine Omehia; former Deputy Speakers of the House of
Representatives, Chinudom Nwuche and Austin Opara as well as the former
Presidential Adviser on Amnesty Office, Mr. Timi Alaibe.
Makinde while receiving his guest, explained that the past seven years has been filled with many disasters in the country.
He added that Nigeria went into recession two times within
the period under review.
He then called on Wike and other governors on the platform
of PDP to rise and rescue the country from APC in 2023.
Makinde said the unity of PDP should be paramount to
members.
He said Nigerians are waiting for PDP to take over from the
APC in 2023.
He added that the population is growing at an alarming rate,
saying that the time to rescue Nigeria from the APC is now.
“The unity, especially that of the governors of our party is
paramount and most of the successes we have recorded so far are really because
we are together.
“This is a year we have to make serious decisions, because
whatever we do and whatever the outcome is, Nigerians will have to live with
that for the next four years.
“The past seven years have been a real disaster. If you look
at the data, an economy that was growing at the rate of 5 to 6 per cent yearly
before then suddenly became poor.
“We went into recession and we thought we were coming out
but still went into another recession.
“Meanwhile, the population is also growing at an alarming
rate. So, just like our party has been pushing, this is the time to rescue
Nigeria. We have a serious role to play in that effort”.
