In September 2017, the Caretaker National Chairman of PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi visited him in Ibadan and following extensive, deep and wide consultations with National Leaders, Oyo State leaders and elders of the Social Democratic Party, and cross sections of strategic partners within Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde returned to his former political party, People's Democratic Party (PDP). He maintained that joining the PDP was not for personal gains but for the development of the State by finding lasting solutions to the array of problems facing the State.[21][22]

On 29 September 2018, Makinde emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 general elections for Oyo State, after polling 2772 votes at the primary election that took place at liberty stadium, Oke-Ado in Ibadan.[23]

Makinde on 29 May 2019 was sworn in as the 28th executive Governor of Oyo State.[26] Makinde takes over from Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi after the latter's eight years in office.[27]

On 7 April 2022, Makinde declared his intention of run for another four years as clamored by the good people of Oyo State due to his ground breaking achievements since resuming office in 2019. He made this declaration in a message posted on his social media channels stating that "if the people of Oyo state desire it, we will serve four more years".
