Ahead of the forthcoming general elections, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Oyo State has declared support for Engr Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mogaji Olasunkanmi Tegbe, the PDP candidate for Oyo South Senatorial District.
Makinde is seeking reelection for a second term in office as governor while Tegbe is seeking to represent Oyo South in the red chamber of the national assembly.
While declaring the party’s support for Makinde and Tegbe, the state chairman of APGA, Alh Owolabi Suraj said that the party did not collapse its structure into PDP.
Suraj, who was with all APGA leaders, candidates and members while making the declaration, however noted that the party is ready to work together with the ruling PDP in the pacesetter state.
“There can only be one governor at a time, so if Engr Seyi Makinde is there and doing the right thing, I think the best thing for us is to support him and give him a chance to complete all the projects he has embarked upon,” Suraj said.
