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.
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.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
