Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will retain power in the state beyond 2027 and reclaim the presidency in the next general elections. He made these remarks during the PDP State Congress held at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex in Ibadan, an event attended by ward and local‑government executives, ad‑hoc delegates, and stakeholders from all 33 local government areas in the state.

The governor praised the party for conducting its congresses at the ward, local‑government, and state levels in a peaceful and transparent manner, describing this as evidence of the PDP’s strength and readiness for upcoming elections. He urged the newly elected state executive members to intensify their efforts to ensure the party’s success at every level, from local councils to the presidency.

Makinde also reassured party members in Oyo State who have not yet benefited from his administration that their contributions have not gone unnoticed and will soon be rewarded. He emphasized that the ongoing congress exercise is part of a deliberate strategy to consolidate the PDP’s dominance, with the new executives carrying a clear mandate to deliver victories across all positions in 2027.

The PDP State Congress is a significant event on the state’s political calendar, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the party’s future direction. With the next general elections approaching, the party is gearing up to retain its hold on power in Oyo State and to make a strong bid for the presidency. Makinde’s assurance of the party’s success reflects the PDP’s confidence in its ability to deliver on promises and meet the expectations of its members and supporters.

As the party moves forward, it will focus on building on its strengths and addressing areas of weakness. The newly elected state executive members will play a crucial role in driving the party’s strategy and ensuring success in the upcoming elections. With the PDP’s commitment to peaceful and transparent politics, the party is well positioned to make a strong impact in the next general elections and achieve its goal of reclaiming the presidency.
