The Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde has announced that the 2024 Ondo state PDP governorship party’s ticket won’t be given easily to any aspirant, emphasising that it will be a competitive battle among all contenders
Makinde, stated this on Tuesday during an interactive meeting between critical stakeholders from Ondo State and the National Working Committee at the PDP national headquarters, Wadata Plaza in Abuja.
He said that the Peoples Democratic Party lost the 2020 Ondo State Governorship election due to disunity and division in the party.
The governor of Oyo State stressed that they gained valuable lessons from the 2020 Ondo State governorship election, highlighting that while party leaders and members can celebrate success together, failure is challenging to handle collectively.

Makinde stated, “We learned from the last governorship election. You learn more when you fail than when you succeed. So we learned bitter lessons.
“For the benefit of everybody, the governorship election in Ondo State is not going to be handed over to anybody. It will be a fight. As PDP, we will fight.
“If, in the past four years ago, we had that division within us that allowed the seat to slip away from us. At this time, we are united and we will stay united to the election. So this is a time for us to come together.
“We may disagree on a few things but from our situation in the Oyo States. Yes, we have disagreements, but we’re solving our problems even as we speak. We’re not solving it outside. We’re solving it right inside the Government House.
“So if you disagree, it’s normal. But let us win the Government House and then all the areas of disagreement we will keep addressing it. We can only share success; failure is difficult to share. So, by God’s grace, we shall be successful in the forthcoming Ondo State governorship election.” Makinde said.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission set November 16, 2024, as the scheduled date for the Ondo State Governorship election.
According to the party’s timetable, the party’s congress, where its governorship candidate will emerge will be held on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
The sale of expression of interest, nomination forms, and Ad-hoc forms is slated for March 7 – March 21. March 25 is the deadline for the submission of completed expression of interest and Ad-hoc forms.
