Makinde made this declaration on Monday during the Oyo State PDP State Congress, held at the Basketball Arena of the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, Ibadan.

The governor praised the party’s adherence to internal democracy, citing the peaceful conduct of congresses across wards, local governments, and the state level as a sign of PDP’s growing strength and cohesion.

“This exercise is to ensure that the PDP continues to remain in power in Oyo State beyond 2027,” Makinde said. “To the new executives emerging from this congress your mandate is clear: deliver PDP victories from the presidential level down to councillorship positions.”
