On Wednesday, the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed that Governor Seyi Makinde would have sold Nigeria and other national assets if he were in the present condition of President Bola Tinubu.

The party made this claim in response to a recent remark made by the governor on President Tinubu’s economic policies.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that Makinde 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.

Governor Makinde also criticised the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying they have worsened hardship and increased the cost of living for many Nigerians.

In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare, he explained that no amount of criticism will make Nigerians 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.

“Governor 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.
