The All Progressives Congress, APC, has weighed in on the rumoured ambition of Governor Seyi Makinde to contest for presidency in 2027.
Report is rife that Makinde is planning to vie for the exalted position.
The Oyo governor has been coy about whether it’s true or not but on Saturday in an equivocal attack on APC, said the 2027 election is between Nigerians and the ruling party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, in a statement issued in Abuja fired back at the governor.
Morka stated in the statement, “While our democracy affords Makinde the liberty to his political aspiration, however, engaging in reckless executive flippancy at the expense of the job he was elected to do as governor is a disservice to the good people of Oyo State.
“If Makinde knew how best to keep APC’s influence at bay, why has he not executed that strategy in ‘protection’ of his party nationally?
“Like the proverbial bad workman who blames his tools, Makinde and his co-confused PDP leaders should quit pointing fingers at the APC and take full responsibility for their disgraceful failure to handle the party’s implosion and decay.”
