Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, was absent at the presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo state on Thursday.
At the rally, Atiku, however, commended Makinde in absentia, for providing an enabling environment for the campaign. The former Vice President also said his administration will tackle the security challenges in Nigeria if elected President.
He stated this during his campaign at the Mapo Hall in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Speaking at the rally, Atiku said, “Keeping Oyo as the last rally for the Southwest is saving the best for the last. The turnout was simply amazing!
“I cannot thank our supporters enough for their passion and enthusiasm. I implore you to go to the polling booths with the zeal to Recover Nigeria.”
The campaign was attended by prominent politicians in the state except for the Oyo governor who is a member of the G5, a group of aggrieved governors within the PDP.
The G5 include Makinde as well as Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).
