The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that Governor Seyi Makinde and his supporters have agreed on a date to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This online medium reports that the party made these allegations in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Olawale Sadare, on Thursday, stating that Makinde has abandoned governance for politics.
APC claimed that Makinde has relegated his duties and matters requiring his attention as Governor to those related to his 2027 political ambition.
The party noted that Makinde has failed to pay close attention to recent developments in the state, including challenges in security, waste management, and avoidable loss of lives from road mishaps, among others.
The APC further urged Governor Makinde to attend to the demands of governance in the state rather than pursuing politics.
The statement added, “This alarm might have come against the backdrop of some developments in the state in recent times, such as challenges of insecurity, waste management, avoidable loss of lives to road mishaps, among others which political pundits and public affairs analysts believed should have received better attention from the Oyo state government.
“Last Tuesday; many lives of Ibadan residents were lost to road accident at Oje market and a few hours later, Gov. Makinde gathered his supporters to discuss 2027 politics and they all agreed to a date to leave the sinking ship (PDP). The following day when residents were mourning in grief, Gov. Makinde decided to celebrate his reckless spending of the tax payers money on the purchase of brand new cars for the inefficient elected council officials and illegal party officials.”
