As the 2027 presidential elections approach, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified its attacks on Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, signaling concerns over his growing political influence. The Accord Party Movement (APM) has pointed out that these attacks reflect President Bola Tinubu's unease regarding Makinde's ambition to contest for the presidency. Analysts suggest that Makinde's popularity and strategic positioning within the political landscape pose a significant threat to Tinubu's plans. The APM argues that such aggressive tactics are indicative of a desperate attempt to undermine Makinde's credibility. Observers are keenly watching how these developments will shape the political dynamics leading up to the elections. The situation raises questions about the APC's strategy and the potential impact on voter sentiment in the Southwest region. Overall, the unfolding rivalry between Tinubu and Makinde is set to be a focal point in the upcoming electoral contest.
