APC Criticizes Makinde's 'Operation Wetie' Comments

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's comments made during an opposition coalition summit in Ibadan, where he referenced "Operation Wetie." This term refers to a violent political era in the early 1960s when perceived political opponents faced violent reprisals. APC's National Vice Chairman Isaac Kekemek criticized Makinde's remarks as reckless and lacking proper context, arguing that they incite historical violence and misrepresent current political dynamics.

The APC called for a united opposition to sustain democracy, asserting that Makinde's comments suggest an unfounded narrative of electoral manipulation. Kekemek also highlighted the current opposition's lack of strategy and organization, attributing their challenges to internal disputes.

The APC expressed confidence in its performance and grassroots strength, predicting victory in the southwest and across Nigeria. The party also called for urgent amendments to the electoral act to safeguard electoral integrity and criticized the opposition coalition as weak and lacking legitimacy.
