The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Deputy National Chairman (South), Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja on Tuesday, declared that Oyo State will witness more dividends of democracy during the second term of Governor Seyi Makinde if elected.
Ambassador Arapaja said this in Ibadan, while receiving the women political group, Women Mobilization for GSM ’23 led by its State Coordinator, Mrs Toyin Balogun at his Felele residence.
The PDP Deputy National Chairman South declared that there is the need for all in the party to work together as a team to achieve the second term bid of Governor Seyi Makinde.
According to the PDP Deputy National Chairman, Governor Seyi Makinde has performed creditably well in all areas of governance, thereby making life easier for the common man and all residents and citizens in the state.
Ambassador Arapaja maintained that this fact was recently attested to by a gubernatorial candidate of an opposition party in the state when he featured on a radio programme wherein he scored Governor Makinde 70 per cent when he was asked to assess his performance in the last three years.
“As far as I am concerned, what this statement from an opposition candidate seeking to occupy the same position is that you don’t change the winning team but rather cooperate with it to consolidate on its performance”, he said.
Ambassador Arapaja added, ” Gov Seyi Makinde administration is the best in the history of Oyo State. In about three and half years so far spent, he has redefined the governance and has brought prosperity to every individuals. He has spent rehabilitated and constructed many roads including the airport road which is being dualised”.
” Not only that, he has brought Air peace line to the State. He takes the welfare of the civil servants, pensioners his utmost priority, health care delivery, education, transport etc. Now that the campaign has started, it behoves on all of us to be his ambassador by embarking on door to door campaign in every nooks and crannies of the State and beyond to spread the gospel of the good work that the governor is doing to the electorates and we must be prepared to deliver our polling units, our wards, local governments and the entire state so as to re elect Governor Makinde and all the other candidates of our party,”
