For the March 11 general election, the Oyo State branch of the Labour Party, LP, has selected Governor Seyi Makinde as its candidate for governor.
Makinde is the candidate with character, knowledge, and capacity, according to LP Chairman Sadiq Atayese.
Nonetheless, Atayese urged the residents of the state to support LP candidates in the state assembly elections while speaking during a press conference on Sunday.
No party can “win the future governor election solely,” he said, citing the presidential election as evidence.
According to Atayese, the LP and Makinde share ideas in the areas of security, infrastructure development, food security, education, and human capital development. This is why the parties chose to collaborate.
“It is of note that the present PDP administration under Gov. Makinde has presented its scorecard from the health sector with the provisions of Primary Healthcare Centres in every ward to security, others,” he added.
