Your Acclaimed Endorsement By Tinubu Shows Your Desperation- Oyo APC Slams Makinde

The Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and his supporters have come under fire for allegedly spreading reports that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu has endorsed him.

The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday slammed Makinde, saying his claim that Tinubu has endorsed him is “a height of desperation and insincerity.”

The Oyo APC told Makinde to stop insinuating that he has the backing of the president-elect because he doesn’t.

Naija News learned that the party gave the warning in a statement on Thursday issued by its state Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare in Ibadan, the state capital.

It would be recalled that the governor, who is a member of the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aka the G5, was alleged to have played a key role in Tinubu’s victory during the last Saturday’s election

However, the Oyo APC argued about the rationale behind the insinuations about Makinde being responsible for the delivery of all three senatorial and eight House of Representatives seats to the APC with two pending.

The APC remarked that “To set the record straight, Oyo PDP did its best to secure victory for all its candidates at the February 25 election. But, they failed simply because Oyo APC was far ahead of them in terms of preparedness, human resources and strategy.

“We, therefore, challenge Makinde or any of his agents to present any evidence of the purported agreement or deal between them and Tinubu, if they are truthful.”
