Makinde’s presidential ambition escape strategy to evade probe — Oyo APC

The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the presidential ambition of Governor Seyi Makinde of the state as an escape strategy to evade probe.

APC made this declaration in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare.

The statement was made available to MEDIA TODAY on Sunday.

MEDIA TODAY gathered that Makinde is the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

The governor is expected to finish his second-term tenure in May next year.

Sadare, in the latest statement issued on behalf of the APC, explained that the governor decided to run for the highest office in the country in order to create an avenue for him to escape from the country before May 29, 2027.

He said that Makinde was making all efforts to evade justice in view of many alleged cases of graft and abuse of office hanging on his neck.

The APC spokesman also alleged that the governor was planning to leave the country in January next year.

Sadare, in the statement, also alleged that the governor was contesting in order to deceive many Nigerians.

“Meanwhile, we can authoritatively inform the whole world that Makinde is only out to hoodwink Nigerians, distract the anti-graft agencies which are on his cases and also secure an escape route from the country anytime from January 1, 2027.

“We are working on the details of his plans even as relevant security agents are already on red alert because he (Makinde) will be made to answer for all his atrocities since he was sworn in as governor in May 2019.”
