APC's Alli Declares Makinde's Presidential Bid Unviable

Senator Sharafadeen Alli, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, criticized Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential ambition within the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), labeling it as "dead on arrival." In a statement from Prince Bisi Oladele, the director of media and publicity for the Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation, Alli referenced recent commendations of President Bola Tinubu by Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed as evidence of the contradictions undermining Makinde's campaign. Alli argued that if a key supporter of Makinde acknowledges Tinubu's achievements, it raises questions about the viability of Makinde's presidential bid.

He suggested that Makinde's campaign appears more as a political bargaining strategy rather than a genuine pursuit of the presidency. Alli emphasized that despite Makinde's efforts to project a national following, the reality of his support is questionable, especially given the public praise from leaders within his coalition for Tinubu's governance.
