The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde, has expressed reassurance at his adoption by a coalition of political parties in the state.
He believes the adoption as their sole candidate will give him victory in Saturday’s election.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Director of Media and Strategy for the Makinde Campaign Organisation, Dotun Oyelade, said in statement in Ibadan on Monday that the maturity displayed by the leaders of the coalition parties was commendable.
Sen. Olufemi Lanlehin, governorship candidate of ADC, Sharafadeen Alli of ZLP and Bolaji Ayorinde of SDP, had through the signed coalition on Sunday, adopted PDP’s Makinde as their consensus candidate for the March 9 governorship election in Oyo State.
Among the leaders who made the coalition and adoption a reality were former Gov. Rashidi Ladoja, Sen. Femi Lanlehin, Chief Sharafadeen Ali and Chief Bolaji Ayorinde.
“The milestone achievement has now paved the way for the PDP to coast home to victory with the support of other patriotic leaders,” Makinde said.
