Seyi Makinde Refuses to Support Tinubu for 2027 Presidency, Unlike Wike

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde announced his decision not to support Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election, contrasting with Nyesom Wike's stance. Makinde clarified his political position during a media chat in Ibadan, emphasizing that his support for the presidency in 2027 is his personal choice.

The rift between Makinde and Wike became evident during a meeting attended by both governors and President Tinubu's chief staff. Wike unexpectedly declared his intention to hold the PDP presidency in 2027 without consulting Makinde, leading to a surprising turn of events.

Makinde expressed shock at Wike's pledge and decided to observe Wike's actions before reconsidering his own position.
