Makinde Accuses Tinubu of Breaking Unity Agreement

Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State and 2027 presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, accused President Bola Tinubu of betraying a signed agreement regarding the establishment of a national unity government following the 2023 election. Makinde stated that this agreement was the basis for his controversial support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate during the election.

He claimed to possess a documented and signed copy of the agreement, asserting that Tinubu failed to fulfill it after winning the election. During an interview with Arise News, Makinde questioned the absence of a government of national unity and expressed that he has no personal grievances with Tinubu.

He also noted that he has not experienced similar betrayals with other political figures such as Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Makinde rejected the notion that his support for Tinubu was based on their shared Yoruba ethnic background, emphasizing that it was rooted in the proposed government of national unity.
