The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Abayomi Tella, has called on the party members eyeing positions to improve on their relationship with electorates, as well as grassroots mobilization, saying the opposition party could not afford a ‘try and error tactic’ in 2027.
Tella stated that if they failed to build relationships and trust, they would loose their popularity and the election.
Tella spoke during a programme organized by the PDP candidate for Abeokuta South federal constituency election in 2023, Toyin Amuzu.
The chairman encouraged them to be at peace with one another and spread the word about the party to all the nooks and crannies of the state.
“To all our intending aspirants, it’s not until the election is about six months that you would be getting close to the people.
“That’s why you loose your popularity and lost elections. Create relationship with the people now that election is still far, not everything is money, get close to the grassroots and do it now.
“I want to plead with all of us that we should use this platform to unite our party.
“Whatever you call strength is in unity, we can’t afford to do a try and error again. 2027 is our year, yes, but we have some certain responsibility to take,” he said.
On his part, Amuzu said, “well, if we have a lot of representatives, senators, and governors empowering people within their four years tenure, I’m sure by now everyone would have a job.”
