The governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has told anyone who
wishes to run for the governorship of the state to start their campaign in
earnest.
The governor also urged them to do so on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, despite the crisis rocking the party’s internal
structures.
The PDP has been in jeopardy since the 2023 general
elections, with almost everyone of significance in the party abandoning it for
other parties.
The PDP has lost almost all its lawmakers and governors to
the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, the latest being the governor of
Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri.
DAILY POST reports that the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, released the final list of candidates for the August 8, 2026,
governorship election in Osun State.
In the list released, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and
Labour Party, LP, were missing.
Despite the PDP being marred by litigation and a leadership
crisis, Makinde, while addressing party faithful in Ibadan, Oyo State, on
Thursday, said:
“Today, I have freed everyone. Anyone who wants to contest
for Oyo State Governor in 2027, please bring out your billboards.
“Don’t be bothered about the PDP crisis. Go ahead and put
the PDP logo on your billboards,” Governor Seyi Makinde announced.
