The South-west zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Thursday said it will deliver the entire zone for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
SW APC in a statement by its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Mr Ayo Afolabi, lashed out at the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation for describing the APC Presidential Campaign Council as a “Nebuchadnezzar Coalition” and an “alliance of failed governors.”
The APC SW said it is glaring that Governor Makinde has chosen to stand alone on the road to political perdition with his present presidential ambition
“The South-west zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read with pity the statement by the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation describing the APC Presidential Campaign Council as a “Nebuchadnezzar Coalition” and an “alliance of failed governors,” it said.
SW APC added, “Let us be clear about whom Governor Makinde’s spokesmen have just called failures. Thirty-two of Nigeria’s thirty-six sitting governors now stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“They come from the APC, the PDP, APGA and Accord. They include every one of Governor Makinde’s South-west neighbours: Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Dapo Abiodun, Biodun Oyebanji, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and Ademola Adeleke. Millions of Nigerians elected these men. To call them ‘failed’ is to call their voters fools. The people of Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo Osun, and even Oyo will remember that insult and punish Makinde on Election Day.”
The campaign council added; “Governor Makinde sat in the same tent as many of those he now calls “predators”. As a proud member of the G5, he celebrated the outcome of the election that produced this administration. Was he also a predator then, or only now that he has nowhere left to stand?
“Today, Governor Makinde has lost control of his own party. The PDP calls his so-called alliance with the Allied Peoples Movement impersonation. Nyesom Wike, his own comrade in the G5, has declared the bid ‘dead on arrival.’
“Even the men who once shared his trenches will not follow him into this one. He campaigns on a borrowed ticket while opposition leaders debate whether he, Atiku or Obi should lead them.”
SW APC noted: “A man who cannot keep his own house should not lecture Nigeria on coalitions. His spokesmen went to the Book of Daniel and stopped one chapter too soon to read how Nebuchadnezzar was not only humbled but was restored to greater glory.”
