Oyo State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has alleged that Governor Seyi Makinde of the State would have sold Nigeria and other national assets if he were to be in the present condition of President Bola Tinubu.
APC while comparing Makinde with Tinubu, noted that the difference between the duo is like the difference between the heaven and the earth.
APC made the allegation while responding to a recent remark made by the governor on Tinubu’s economic policies.
Makinde, who spoke, through a representative, on Monday during the unveiling of Ogun state candidates of Allied People’s Movement, APM, ahead of the 2027 general elections in Abeokuta, had expressed his readiness to defeat Tinubu in 2027.
But, the APC while reacting, disclosed that Nigeria was lucky not to have elected somebody like Makinde in 2023.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare, he explained that no amount of criticisms will make Nigerians to choose someone like Makinde whom he said has failed the people of the State.
He alleged that Makinde has transferred all assets of the State to the wrong hands in exchange for cash in seven years.
“Gov. Makinde can afford to condemn the bold and courageous steps taken by President Bola Tinubu in 2023 as he is wont to playing to the gallery but all the informed minds and reputable global institutions cannot be wrong in their overwhelming applause to the President who has not only saved Nigeria from imminent collapse and extinction but also working tirelessly to place the country in its rightful place among the comity of nations.
“A Makinde who has transferred virtually all the assets of Oyo state to the wrong hands in exchange for cash in seven years would have sold Rivers Niger and Benue as well as the nation’s portion of the Atlantic Ocean if he had the opportunity. To this end, Nigerians will never make the mistake of trusting him with their mandate,” he alleged.
