Makinde Vows PDP Will Rebuild Itself to Rebuild Nigeria
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde reaffirmed the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) commitment to revitalizing both the party and the nation, promising to lead Nigeria toward a brighter future.
Speaking in Abuja during the inauguration of the Board of Governors and the launch of a strategic roadmap for the People’s Democratic Institute (PDI), Makinde outlined his vision for a PDP-led Nigeria.
His words echoed a call to action, emphasizing that the PDP would rebuild itself to offer the strong leadership Nigeria urgently needs.
The PDI, established by the PDP in 2000, plays a crucial role as the party’s research and educational arm, dedicated to fostering democratic values, education, and effective governance not only in Nigeria but across Africa.
Through its training, research, and capacity-building programs, the PDI aims to shape a new democratic culture, equipping current and future leaders with the skills to tackle pressing national issues.
Makinde emphasized that a renewed PDP would lay the groundwork for Nigeria’s progress, providing Nigerians with a genuine sense of hope as the country heads toward the 2027 elections.
According to him, revitalizing PDI is an essential step toward restoring public trust and confidence in the party’s ability to lead, as well as setting a clear ideological path that can guide the nation’s future.
“Our mission is straightforward,” Makinde stated, “We will fix the PDP, and the PDP will fix Nigeria.
This is the real hope Nigerians need.”
He stressed that Nigerians are searching for clear direction, and the PDP has an obligation to provide a solid ideological foundation to guide the country through turbulent times.
He sees this as an opportunity for the party to redefine its values and remind Nigerians of the principles it stands for.
Makinde called on all party members and political leaders to reflect on their roles and the legacy they wish to leave behind.
He stated the importance of serving the public with dedication, urging leaders to consider what they want to be remembered for.
This moment, he suggested, is a chance for leaders to prioritize the nation’s welfare above personal ambitions, reinforcing his commitment to strengthening Nigerian democracy and the PDP.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
