The Gubernatorial Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Oyo state, Barr. Michael Lana has stepped down his ambition and declared support for Governor Seyi Makinde ahead of the March 18 election.
Lana made the declaration at a press conference on Tuesday, in Ibadan.
Addressing the gathering, he said, “After several consultations, we resolved that the best thing for Oyo State now is to align ourselves with a really progressive candidate. We were in fact captured by an emotional statement of a 70-year-old woman who said Governor Seyi Makinde not only paid her pensions promptly but also took care of the aged women and men during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the trait of a person that has set out to write his name in history and ensure an upliftment of the downtrodden in the state.
“We have therefore resolved to inform all our teeming supporters to vote massively for His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday, 18th March, 2023 and get him elected as Governor of Oyo State”.
