The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West has commended the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, for his strong and steady push to keep Nigeria’s multi-party democracy alive and growing.
The party’s zonal executives pointed out that Makinde had been consistent in the efforts at ensuring opposition parties have space to operate.
The PDP Zonal Publicity Secretary, Chief Sanya Atofarati, who spoke to journalists at a press conference in Ibadan, said the governor’s position has strengthened democracy in the country.
Atofarati said that the party in the South-West “stands firmly behind Makinde.”
“His administration continues to demonstrate stability, focus, and an unwavering commitment to delivering democratic dividends to the good people of Oyo State,” the spokesman noted.
He said the recent rumoured impeachment plot against the governor was baseless, contrived and should be disregarded by all well-meaning Nigerians.

“The rumoured impeachment plot is nothing more than a calculated attempt to create unnecessary political tension,” Atofarati added.
According to him, the PDP in South-West reaffirms its total solidarity with Nigerians in the face of worsening economic hardship, insecurity, and growing uncertainty across the country.
He said the party remained resolute in its commitment to offering a credible alternative anchored on people-focused governance, stability, and national progress.
The spokesman urged Nigerians to remain calm, vigilant, and united, and to reject any attempt by political actors to manufacture crisis or destabilise the country for selfish political gain.
“Furthermore, the PDP in the South-West pledges its unwavering support and loyalty to the Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC),” he concluded.
