•Donates new state secretariat to partyOYO State governor, Mr ‘Seyi Makinde, has declared that no one will be allowed to hold down the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for any other party to be in power. Recall that Governor Makinde had also donated a secretariat to the South-West PDP in honour of a former National Vice Chairman (South-West), the late Honourable Soji Adagunodo, in 2024.
