The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s deputy governor candidate for Kwara State, Hon. Gbenga Makanjuola, emphasised over the weekend the importance of peace and togetherness among all party members in Kwara South if the party is to win the state's next general election.
At the Kwara South PDP stakeholders' consultation gathering, Makanjuola, a two-term House of Representatives member who represented the Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero/Ekiti federal seat in the National Assembly, said as much in Omu-Aran.
He said the development also became imperative in view of the need to shun all forms of action that may prevent the party from taking over power from the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government in the next elections.
The former federal lawmaker added that the party has taken its pride back now among other political parties in the country, noting that: “It is high time the party stakeholders desist from actions that may hinder the progress.”
He opined that: “There is need to consolidate this grip by embracing peace and unity so as to crown it with the winning of the forthcoming general election in the state.”
Makanjuola appreciated the former Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed, for his continuous support for Kwara South PDP and the state.
