Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has responded to claim by the national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje that his party will ultimately take over states presently governed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West.
A few days ago, Ganduje while speaking in Akure, the Ondo State capital, boasted that all South West states will soon be captured by the APC after winning the Ondo election.
Similarly, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa claimed on Wednesday that PDP was dead in the state.
Reacting to the comments while leading the campaign train of PDP to the Akoko axis of Ondo State, Makinde insisted that PDP is still vibrant in Ondo State.
He went on to say his party is determined to be victorious in the governorship election, stressing that both Ganduje and Aiyedatiwa would be shocked by the outcome of the November 16 gubernatorial poll.

Makinde added that APC will experience defeats in subsequent elections in the Southwest geopolitical zone.
He further stressed that the ruling party in the country has become the nemesis of Nigerians.
Speaking during the rally, Makinde said, “If wishes were horses, everybody would be riding them. I can tell you that the people of the South West of Nigeria are wiser, especially in Ondo State, where we are here (Akoko area).
“You can see the crowd; look at the enthusiasm. On November 16th, they will tell him (Ganduje) that Ondo State and indeed Southwest are for the PDP. Well, talk, they say is cheap. You can say whatever you like with your mouth.
“The people of Ondo State will speak loud and clear on the 16th of November 2024, and then all of us in this country will hear it loud and clear.”
