2027 elections: Makinde lacks capacity to contest against Tinubu – Oyo APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, Sunday, said the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde, does not possess the requisite capacity to slug it out with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

The state APC in a statement by its publicity secretary, Comrade Olawale Sadare, stated that the APM presidential candidate  is only out to make some noise and distract the global community.

The APC spokesman said Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential ambition is a political drama script designed to entertain and distract the people.

“It is important for us to reiterate that Governor Makinde does not possess the wherewithal to slug it out with President Bola Tinubu in 2027 but he  is a only out to make some noise and distract the global community.

“Unfortunately, he cannot achieve his aim of emerging the political comedian of the year without wasting the resources of the pacesetters state and this would not augur well for the good people of the state.

“Makinde knows in his mind that contesting for the Nigerian presidency is not a child’s play while he does not possess the personal quality, experience and strategy to be the next president in 2027. But yet, he is parading himself as the presidential candidate of the less Allied People’s Movement (APM).

“Makinde can afford to display campaign posters and billboards in parts of Oyo and Bauchi states for obvious reasons, but the best he can get even if he gets himself on the ballot is to come a distant 8th position.

“Most Nigerians including leaders of thought and eminent personalities know that President Tinubu is the best for the country even as the focus on his likely successor would shift to the North after his reelection in 2027.  This implies that the person of Makinde cannot be trusted to rule the world’s most populous black nation at a time like this.

“However, Makinde is being monitored as he embarks on a political journey that has failed before its commencement while he would be made to cough out all the public funds he wasted on it,” Oyo APC stated.
