Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, yesterday, held consultative and town hall meetings with stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo Federal Constituency, where he urged the electorate to vote for candidates of the party in the forthcoming general elections.

The governor said that the PDP had become stronger in the federal constituency, following the resolution of the internal wrangling among its members.

According to a statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, the governor said he was confident that the PDP would win all elections in the zone, as according to him, he has fulfilled over 80 per cent of his campaign promises to the people.

The governor, who met with all critical stakeholders in Oyo, said that all the aggrieved members of the party in the constituency had been reconciled and now could go into the general elections as a united family.

Also at the town hall meeting held at the Atiba Hall, Oyo, Makinde declared that if he is re-elected, there would be an upgrade of good governance, hence the campaign theme Omituntun 2.0.

He, therefore, charged all residents and indigenes of Oyo State to vote for all candidates of the PDP in the 2023 general election. Makinde equally used the opportunity to refund the nomination fees of all PDP aspirants for national and state House of Assembly positions in Oyo Zone, saying that similar gesture would be extended to all PDP aspirants across the state.

The governor also led a house-to-house campaign in Oyo town, where he urged residents of the historic town to support his party and its candidates in the coming elections.
