Governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, has said the 2027 presidential election will be between Nigerians and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and not the APC against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking on Channels Television on Tuesday, Makinde said, “The 2027 election won’t be PDP versus APC; it would be Nigerians versus APC. Mark my word on that”.
Makinde berated the APC government for the wobbling economy and the rising security challenges in the nation, saying that the next election will be judgment time for the presidency of Bola Tinubu.
Makinde maintained that the PDP remained the hope of the common man, pointing out that the main opposition party won’t make the mistake that made it lose the 2023 presidential poll.
Makinde, while drawing lessons from the last election, stated that his party made a mistake by handing the presidential ticket, the national chairman slot and the office of the director general of the presidential campaign to members from the northern region only.
The Oyo governor reiterated that the exclusion of southerners from the three major slots dealt a self-inflicted blow to the PDP as it resulted in the loss suffered by the party in the last presidential election
“If the three main influential positions to take us to the election were occupied by the North East, the North Central, and the North West, how do we sell that position all around the country,” said Makinde
