Oyo 2027: I’m best positioned to succeed Makinde – Oladimeji 

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), chieftain in Oyo state, Hon Olayinka Oladimeji, has said he was the most qualified  to succeed Governor Seyi Makinde as the  Oyo state governor  from May 29, 2027.

The PDP stalwart while speaking with journalists in Ibadan stated that by every standard, he was the most qualified to contest and the best positioned to succeed Makinde and govern Oyo state from 2027. 

According to the PDP governorship aspirant, as a young man still under the age of 50 and, given his long years of commitment to the PDP, he stood a better chance of getting the party’s ticket, in line with the age limit bar set by the governor for his would-be successor.

“Our performing Governor Seyi Makinde has given his word on age limitation and he has promised us level playing field. I believe in him. I am the most qualified to succeed our dear governor”, he said.

Hon Oladimeji added, “I am the best for the governorship seat. My life has been dedicated to serving the people and the community. I have been very supportive of my people at the grassroots level, over the years”.

“Nobody else is more qualified than me for the job in 2027. I believe that Governor Makinde is a man of his word. This would influence the choice of the best candidate to succeed him in 2027″.

Hon Oladimeji emphasised that his political experience as a former appointee in the National Assembly, his international connections and exposure as well as his political background positioned him as the most qualified person to succeed the governor in 2027 and that he would consolidate on the numerous achievements of Makinde, if elected in 2027.

“My late father was a very strong PDP member from 1998 till he was murdered in 2007. My late father brought the PDP to Oyo state; he was the first chairman of the party in Oyo state”

The PDP chieftain maintained that he would build on the foundation laid by Gov Makinde who he said had created an enabling environment for the youth to play active roles in politics, both at the state and at the national level.
