The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday praised Governor Seyi Makinde for what it described as his unceasing compassion toward the people.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary, the PDP noted Makinde’s cancellation of all activities relating to the marking of his birthday Sunday in solidarity and compassion toward the families of the deceased children and the injured in the recent tragic stampede at a private children’s funfair event in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

“Governor Makinde’s decision is in line with his stance that the purpose and essence of leadership is in pursuing the well-being and comfort of others and not self.
“Such distinguishes him as a leader with empathy and who at all times has the people’s interest and well-being at heart,” the party stated.
The PDP said it continues to pray and stand with the Governor, the families of the victims, and the people of Oyo State, especially at this trying moment.
