Oyo State Deputy Governor, Barr. Abdul-Raheem Adebayo Lawal, has commended the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members for their peaceful conduct at the National Convention held on November 15-16 at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasigba, Ibadan.
He expressed confidence that the convention will lead to a strong and formidable PDP that will defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Saturday, Barr. Lawal said the peaceful conduct and huge turnout of delegates and members indicate that the PDP remains strong and formidable despite recent crises.

He commended Governor Seyi Makinde and the Convention Planning Committee for hosting a fair, open, and rancour-free convention, highlighting the presence of delegates from across Nigeria as a testament to the party’s democratic values.
