Ajani, who is vying for the Oyo Central Senatorial District seat on the Platform of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), stated this on Saturday while speaking to newsmen in Ibadan.
He said Makinde can match any All Progressives Congress(APC) candidate from the South in the presidential election.
He said: His records are straight; academic and age. He has no EFCC or any criminal case.”
The senatorial hopeful described the governor as a family man and detribalised Nigerian, noting that Makinde’s track record in Oyo State is also a sign that he can turn around the economy of Nigeria.
“His investment in sport is incomparable and peace and security is his midas touch.He is young, savvy and also distributing dividends of democracy equitably,” Ajani added.
Ajani, who is a structural engineer, urged residents of Oyo State to continue to support the governor in his ongoing efforts to reposition the state and uplift the standard of living, saying, “the best is yet to come from Governor Makinde.”
