Governor Seyi Makinde on Tuesday declared that the loss of the 2020 Ondo State governorship election thought the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a bitter lesson.
Speaking at the opening of an interactive meeting between the National Working Committee (NWC) and 78 stakeholders of the party from the state at the national secretariat in Abuja, he said, however, that the party tried its best amid internal divisions going into the exercise.
Recall that the candidate of the PDP in the 2020 election, Eyitayo Jegede, was defeated by the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) governor, late Rotimi Akeredolu.
Governor Makinde was of the opinion that despite the loss, the main opposition party learned a critical lesson, saying, “You learn more when you lose than win.”
The governor warned that the 2024 governorship election would not be won on a platter of gold but stressed: “As PDP, we will fight. At this time, we are united.”

He noted that disagreement in politics is normal but appealed to the stakeholders to stick together for the sake of victory in the November exercise.
Makinde stated that after the victory, any disagreement could then be resolved.
