Oyo APC Criticizes Makinde's 2027 Presidential Bid
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State condemned Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential aspirations, labeling them as a "political drama script" intended to distract the public. This statement followed Makinde's remarks about receiving chieftaincy titles after his tenure ends in May 2027.
APC Publicity Secretary Olawale Sadare warned that Makinde's threats to citizens and traditional leaders regarding their support for APC candidates would not be tolerated. The APC asserted that Makinde lacks the necessary qualities, experience, and strategy to compete with President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
They claimed that, even if he were on the ballot, he would only secure a distant eighth position. The APC emphasized that Makinde's political journey is already failing and that he would be held accountable for any public funds wasted on his campaign.
