“Let me thank the leader of the party in the State, His Excellency, Mr Seyi Makinde, and the leader of the Party in Ogbomoso zone who is also the Chief of staff to governor Makinde, Chief Segun Ebenezer Ogunwuyi for the smooth and peaceful process. With the success recorded today, our dear party is ready to record resounding success in the 2023 polls.
“The strict adherence to the constitution of the People’s Democratic Party, as well as guidelines laid down by the party, shows why the party will remain the people’s choice in future elections in the state.
“In Alapata ward 02, it was like a democratic carnival as party faithful went about the election of those who will pilot the affairs of the party, peacefully without any acrimony, rancour or violence. It is a testament to the democratic credentials of our leader and governor.” He said.

He said: “I also wish to commend the leader of the party in Ogbomoso zone, Chief Segun Ogunwuyi, for the smooth and peaceful process, as the party remains indivisible. There has not been a case parallel congress in Ogbomoso South council area”.
