Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro has been reelected as chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, securing another term in office after first being elected in 2021.
The reelection took place on Monday during the Oyo State PDP Congress held at the basketball area of the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, Ibadan.
The congress was attended by ward and local government executives, ad-hoc delegates, and party stakeholders from all 33 local government areas of the state.
Speaking at the event, Governor Seyi Makinde expressed confidence that the PDP would retain power in Oyo beyond 2027 and reclaim the presidency in the next general elections.
He praised the peaceful conduct of the party’s congresses from ward to state level, describing it as proof of the PDP’s respect for internal democracy.
Makinde charged the newly elected executives to work hard to ensure the PDP’s victory in all elections, from councillorship to the presidential level.
“This exercise is to ensure that the PDP continues to remain in power in Oyo State beyond 2027
“The executives that will emerge from this exercise; your mandate is clear — deliver PDP from the presidential to the councillorship position in 2027,” he said.
The governor also assured party members who are yet to be appointed into government that they had not been forgotten.
“Those who are yet to get something from this government will be reached soon,” he promised.
