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 Presidency has made it clear that President Bola Tinubu is not focused on the 2027 election but is more concerned about driving economic reforms to improve Nigerians’ lives.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, said the president is prioritizing the long-term impact of his economic policies over political strategies.

In a post on his X page, Dare highlighted some of the positive changes under Tinubu’s leadership, including an increase in foreign reserves, a drop in inflation, a growing trade surplus, higher exports, and reduced imports. He also mentioned that Nigeria has attracted over $50 billion in investments and that prices are beginning to drop.

“You have a president who is clearly in control and committed to the decisions he’s made,” Dare said. “The next election isn’t his focus right now. What matters to him is being able to look back at the end of his first term and say, ‘I have improved Nigerians’ lives and turned the economy around.’”

Dare’s remarks come at a time when political realignments are taking shape ahead of 2027. Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, recently visited some top political figures after criticizing the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Following these meetings, El-Rufai left the APC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as part of efforts to build a strong political coalition that could challenge Tinubu in the next election.
