Oluyede Challenges Makinde to Highlight Presidential Achievements

Dr Oluwole Oluyede, a former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State and founder of the Oluyede Progressive Alliance for Renewed Hope Agenda, has challenged Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to demonstrate his qualifications for the presidency through his achievements. Oluyede criticized Makinde's emphasis on physical fitness as a campaign issue, stating that Nigeria requires proven leadership and measurable accomplishments rather than arguments based on age.

Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, had previously stated he would prioritize energy and stamina in his campaign. Oluyede argued that leadership should be assessed by performance and achievements, not youthfulness.

He also compared Makinde's approach to that of President Bola Tinubu, highlighting Tinubu's political experience and accomplishments at a similar age. Oluyede called for Makinde to present a record of his achievements instead of focusing on comparisons of age and energy.
