Abayomi Tella, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, has urged party members vying for office to strengthen their ties with voters and engage in grassroots activism, claiming the opposition party cannot afford to use a “try and error tactic” in 2027.
According to Tella, they would lose the election and their popularity if they were unable to establish rapport and trust.
Tella spoke on Monday at a program hosted by Toyin Amuzu, the PDP’s candidate for the 2023 election in the Abeokuta South federal district.
The chairman urged everyone to get along with each other and tell everyone about the party in every corner 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.”
