• Makinde stated that it behooves the PDP to give hope to the larger despondent Nigerians ahead of the 2027 election as the suffering citizens look up to the party for succour and reprieve.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has asserted that only the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, can solve the myriad of challenges facing Nigeria.

He disclosed that the party will do everything within its power to fix the party and turn the fortune of the country around.

Makinde made the assertion on Thursday in Abuja at the inauguration of the Board of Governors and the unveiling of the Roadmap for Peoples Democratic Institute, PDI.

PDI is the research wing of PDP established in 2000 to promote a new democratic culture in Nigeria and Africa through the provision of value-added education, training, capacity building, research, and documentation programmes.

Makinde stated that it behooves the PDP to give hope to the larger despondent Nigerians ahead of the 2027 election as the suffering citizens look up to the party for succour and reprieve.

“We will fix PDP and then PDP will fix Nigeria, which will be the basis of real hope for the people of Nigeria.

“As we approach 2027, it is clear that the PDP has to provide real hope for Nigeria. By revitalising the PDI that real hope is being provided for our people.

“Our country needs direction. Nigerians are looking up to the PDP to provide an ideological foundation.”

According to him, with the inauguration of the board, PDP was moving a step closer to defining the ideology it stood for.

He urged politicians and leaders who were given the opportunity to serve to always ask themselves what they want to be remembered for.

The Oyo governor reiterated his commitment to strengthening the country’s democracy and PDP
