Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has expressed confidence that the spate of hunger among Nigerians will make the people vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November governorship poll in Ondo state.
Makinde, who joined the campaign rally of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Agboola Ajayi to the northern senatorial district told the APC to shelve the idea of capturing the southwest region of the country.
According to him, voters are ready to chase away APC with the hardship and hunger the party has caused.
The APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, last Sunday in Akure had said the ruling party was doing everything to retain Ondo and take over Oyo and Osun states from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during the PDP gubernatorial campaign in Oke-Agbe and Ikare in Akoko North-West and Akoko North-East Local Government Areas, Makinde declared that the ruling party would find it difficult to retain Ondo let alone capture Osun and Oyo.
The governor said it was very obvious that the people of Ondo had rejected the APC and were just waiting to express it with their votes in the November 16 governorship election in the state.
Makinde, who is the southwest leader of the PDP, urged the people to protect their votes by all means, warning that the APC was ready to rig and cause distractions during this coming poll.
