The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has vowed not to pollute the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
He urged stakeholders of the PDP to unite and rebuild the party to better serve Nigeria.
Makinde made the plea during the inauguration of the Board of Governors of the Peoples Democratic Institute (PDI) in Abuja on Thursday.
He insisted that the country needs direction and Nigerians are looking to the party to provide an ideological base.
Reflecting on his own political journey, Makinde thanked the PDP for giving him the platform to serve Oyo State. “Since 2019, I have benefited from this party. I promise not to pollute the well from which I have drawn,” he said,
The governor emphasized that Nigerians now recognize the difference between the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in national governance.
“As we approach 2027, it is clear that the PDP must offer real hope for Nigeria. By revitalizing the PDI, we are laying that foundation.”
“Our country needs direction, and Nigerians are looking to the PDP to provide an ideological base,” he said.
Makinde urged every politician to consider their legacy, noting, “Players will come and go, but you must be remembered for something.”
With the inauguration of the PDI Board of Governors and the unveiling of the PDI roadmap by Director-General Dr. Edward, Makinde expressed optimism that the PDP is taking a significant step toward defining its ideology and cementing its place in history.
Makinde praised those who have worked toward the revitalization of the PDI, recognizing the institute’s role under former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar in providing insights for national development. “During those years, the PDI contributed positively to governance,” he noted.
