The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, Thursday, alerted that Governor Seyi Makinde and his supporters are making false claims about having the endorsement of the President-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the March 11 governorship election.
Raising the alarm in Ibadan in a statement made available to journalists by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare asked Makinde and his supporters to desist from the purported claim.
Oyo state APC while describing the claim as nothing but “a height of desperation and insincerity”, queried the rationale behind the insinuations about Gov. Makinde being responsible for the delivery of all the three Senatorial and eight House of Representatives seats to the APC in the same election where Makinde’s PDP also fielded its best candidates whose electioneering the governor campaigned for.
“Those behind the wicked rumour are some unscrupulous elements whose motive is to mislead the public and attract undue sympathy from certain quarters outside the state. To set the record straight, Oyo PDP did its best to secure victory for all its candidates at the last Saturday election but they failed simply because Oyo APC was far ahead of them in terms of preparedness, human resources and strategy.
“We therefore challenge Makinde or any of his agents to present any evidence of the purported agreement or deal between them and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu if they are truthful,” he said.
