Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, says the 2027 presidential election will be between Nigerians and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and not the APC versus his party, the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he said this today, while on a televised program ‘Politics Today’.
Makinde blasted the APC government for the wobbling economy and the escalating security challenges in the country, saying that the next poll will be judgment time for the Bola Tinubu presidency, further saying that his party, PDP remained the hope of the common man.
Makinde, while drawing lessons from the last poll, said his party made a grave 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.
However, he said that the PDP ticket would have been stronger had Atiku picked then Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike as his running mate.
