Makinde Accuses APC Members of Attacking Alli's Wife

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has accused members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for an attack on Alhaja Alli, the wife of APC governorship candidate Senator Sharafadeen Alli, along with other party chieftains. Makinde's statement, issued by his special adviser on media, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, came after Alli alleged that Makinde and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate, Abimbola Adekanmbi, were sponsoring hoodlums to attack APC members.

Makinde dismissed these allegations as false and irresponsible, asserting that the attacks were a result of internal disagreements within the APC. He cited eyewitness accounts indicating that the attackers were indeed APC members involved in their party's internal conflicts.

Makinde emphasized that the incidents were not government-sponsored but rather indicative of the APC's failure to manage its internal tensions. He reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and property in Oyo State.
