The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday promised that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will do everything within its power to fix itself and rebuild Nigeria in 2027.
He made this known in Abuja at the inauguration of the Board of Governors and the unveiling of the Roadmap for Peoples Democratic Institute (PDI).
PDP established the institute in 2000 as a research arm to promote new democratic culture in Nigeria and Africa through the provision of value-added education, training, capacity building, research, and documentation programmes.
Speaking during the event, Makinde said revitalizing PDI will help fix the PDP, which would in turn fix Nigeria.
He said, “We will fix PDP and then PDP will fix Nigeria, which will be the basis of real hope for the people of Nigeria.
“As we approach 2027, it is clear that the PDP has to provide real hope for Nigeria. By revitalizing the PDI that real hope is being provided for our people.
“Our country needs direction. Nigerians are looking up to the PDP to provide an ideological foundation.”
Makinde further stated that with the inauguration of the board, PDP was moving a step closer to defining the ideology it stood for.
The Oyo governor urged politicians and leaders who were given the opportunity to serve to always ask themselves what they want to be remembered for.
He went on to reiterate his commitment to strengthening the country’s democracy and PDP.
