PDP Leaders Plead with Makinde Against Selling Out to APC

Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State have begged Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, to halt efforts to reverse Wole Oluyede’s victory in the party’s governorship primary.

PDP leaders, including Deji Ogunsakin, Segun Adeola, Makanjuola Ogundipe, and Kola Oluwawole, reportedly made an appeal at a news conference at the party’s secretariat in the Ajilosun neighborhood of Ado-Ekiti.

The leaders pleaded with Makinde and the national PDP leaders to stop the party’s adversaries’ planned attempts to reverse the people’s decision.

The leaders claim that the people have chosen Wole Oluyede, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) is aware that the party has chosen a reliable candidate.

“We have decided to win the 2026 June 20 governorship election in Ekiti,” the leaders said.

“Enough already. We don’t want anyone to sell us to the APC at a low price. APC is aware that we have selected Dr. Wole Oluyede, who won the PDP primary, as a reliable candidate who can win the 2026 election on our behalf.

“They are attempting to change the outcome to support a candidate who was rejected at the polls.

“The people cast their votes based on their moral convictions. They cast their votes for the candidate they trusted to lead the PDP to victory.

“Sen. Ibrahim Dankwabo, a former governor and former accountant general of the federation (AGF), conducted the election and announced the results in a credible and peaceful setting.”
