Makinde’s presidential ambition dead on arrival – Oyo APC
The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the presidential ambition of Governor Seyi Makinde as dead on arrival.
The APC made this declaration in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare.
The statement was made available to MEDIA TODAY on Sunday.
MEDIA TODAY gathered that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State had on Saturday emerged as the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Our correspondent reports that the APM flag was presented to the governor at an event in Ibadan, the state capital.
The APC, in its reaction, alleged that the governor has abandoned the state to pursue his ambition.
The party, while declaring the governor’s ambition dead on arrival, said that he had failed to meet the expectations of the people over the last seven years.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
The APC further maintained that the governor has no excuse other than to perform his constitutional responsibilities.
The party noted that, as governor, Makinde is in a position to tackle the array of problems facing the state.

The APC said in the statement: “Certainly, Gov. Makinde’s presidential ambition is dead on arrival, but our fear is about the amount of losses, deprivation and wastefulness which the good people of the state would be subjected to in the next one year under his leadership.
“The people of Oyo State deserve a team player, a sincere and humble person as their governor, and since Makinde has failed to demonstrate these qualities in the last seven years, he should just apologise and quit the state.”
