Makinde speaks on PDP governors' achievement

Makinde pointed to the efforts of PDP governors, including his administration in Oyo State, as evidence of the party's commitment to people-centred policies. For instance, he highlighted the recent presentation of the Budget of Economic Stabilisation, which prioritizes infrastructure development, education, and economic progress.

The Ondo State governorship election is scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024. Incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will face off against 16 other candidates, including Agboola Ajayi of the PDP.

The election will be a significant test for the APC, which has held power in the state since 2017. Given the governor's influence in the region, Makinde's endorsement of the PDP candidate is likely to boost Ajayi's chances.
