Press Release

Ibadan, Oyo State ( connect2business.co.uk ) November 11, 2014 - Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed delegates and stakeholders of Oyo State PDP and the entire voting delegation for the forthcoming November 29th, 2014 PDP Governorship Primary Election.

I write this letter to solicit for free and fair Primary Election and the reasons why I should be given a chance.

PDP is the political Party of the grassroots and has always been the party which best represents what it means to be Nigerian…equality, freedom and prosperity. If our desire is to win the February 28th 2015 Governorship Election in Oyo State, then I strongly suggest that we create an environment for free and fair Primary Election within the party.

This is a time that we should close up our ranks to present a united front and not put PDP at a crossroads hence preventing the opposition from galvanizing support at our expense.

Do we want to win 2015 Governorship Election and future Elections? Now is your opportunity to prove it and support my candidature.

I therefore use this medium to enumerate some of the positive attributes my leadership will bring to Oyo State at large, if I am given the chance to lead.

My leadership:

- Will thoroughly redeem the image of the Party and regain the trust of the people of Oyo State.

- Will first consider capacity within the Party before considering capacity outside the Party.

- Will encourage participation of qualified Party members for key positions in the State.

- Will ensure proper disbursement of funds to key areas for infrastructural development of the state.

- Will set the pace for other leaders in the State to follow.

- Will interact properly with the leadership at the Federal level to move the State forward at rapid pace.

- Will be open and transparent making it possible for both Party stakeholders and indeed the people of Oyo State to make meaningful contributions for the furtherance and success of the State.

- Will be firm against redundant and financial waste in the State.

- Will encourage upcoming entrepreneurs and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

- Will enable, encourage and empower the youth as they are essential to the success of our State.

- Will ensure continuity of key projects that had been set up in the State.

Who to choose?

- Look for a candidate with a grassroots campaign and a deep understanding of the value of working with others.

- Look for a candidate who is open to building our party.

- Look for a candidate who believes that the PDP has a message that can win the next election on its own.

- Look for a candidate who will base public policy on solid research.

- Look for a candidate who will rebuild the trust which the people of Oyo State should have in their leaders and civil servants.

- Look for a candidate who will support the rights of the people of Oyo State.

- Look for a candidate who has the vision to see a way forward and the determination to carry it through.

I urge the party delegates and stakeholders to give me a chance to drive our great State to the Promised Land. Let's uphold fairness and progress. Let's give excellence a chance.

I have made up my mind to surrender my will to serve the Oyo State people, and I hope that many delegates, who read this letter, give me their support to make this happen.

Sincerely,

Seyi Makinde.
