Claiming that Makinde lacked all it takes to lead the PDP to any electoral victory, the said the governor and his party were working to deny Ondo people a peaceful and hitch-free exercise.

“Both as the controversial governorship candidate of the Oyo PDP in 2019 and the governor of Oyo State since May 29, 2019, Makinde has never convinced political pundits and stakeholders that he has any outstanding credential to win elections for himself or any other person, as he is lacking in capacity to either sell party manifesto or convince voters to his side.

“Also, Governor Makinde lacks evidence of good governance which he can tell Ondo people that his party candidate will replicate if elected,” the statement read in part.
