Oyo Governorship Election: PDP Not In Alliance With APC

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo state has said the party is not in alliance with the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Oyo state PDP chapter said this in a statement issued by the party’s publicity secretary, Akeem Olatunji on Thursday to debunk reports that thousands of the party’s supporters are now supporting the APC due to the alleged alliance.

Olatunji described the Twitter handle, @PDPVanguard, which first circulated the information as “a pro-APC social media Influencer account with no affiliations whatsoever with the official PDP at the state and national levels”.

The statement read, “The PDP Oyo State wishes to draw the attention of the general public to the news making the rounds that the PDP in Oyo State is in support of the All Progressives Congress candidate in the March 11, 2023 elections.

“We want to state that there is no truth to this statement whatsoever as it’s a wicked lie that emanated from the desperate Oyo State APC leadership who have accepted defeat even before March 11 governorship election”.

The statement added, “We, therefore, appeal to our teeming supporters and all lovers of good governance to come out en-masse on Saturday, March 11, 2023, and vote for Seyi Makinde and All candidates of the PDP at the State House of Assembly Elections. Let the good works continue.”
