Makinde Warns Weak Opposition Threatens Nigeria's Democracy

On Saturday, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde addressed the opposition leader summit held in Ibadan, where he warned that a fragmented opposition could harm Nigeria's democracy. The summit aimed to strengthen coordination among political parties, including the People's Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP).

Makinde stressed that the meeting should not be about division but rather about responsible political engagement. He highlighted the current socio-economic and security challenges facing Nigeria, which require collaboration and honest dialogue among political actors.
