Resolve your court case, APC tells Makinde


The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State yesterday challenged the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Seyi Makinde, to first clear the court case challenging his candidature in the coming polls before talking about defeating its candidate in the March 2 governorship poll.

The APC called on Makinde and other candidates to remove the veil on their faces in order to see the true picture of things, saying that the electorate have that the APC would remain the party of their choice.

According to the APC, going by the daily support shown to its campaign train, and most importantly the overwhelming reception accorded President Muhammad Buhari as well as other APC leaders during the presidential rally held at the Mapo hall on Saturday, it was obvious the party remains on course to win.

The APC Publicity Secretary, Dr AbdulAzeez Olatunde, thanked the people of the state for the support and reception given to the party during its presidential rally, adding that APC us not surprised by Makinde’s tantrums.

Noting that it is in the character of PDP to spill ill-logic of issues, the party explained that Makinde’s focus should be on the case at the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan challenging his emergence as the gubernatorial candidate of PDP instead of his constant ranting.

Dr Olatunde urged Makinde to reflect on his political career in order not to delve into a lifetime of political failure, stressing that it is not even certain if Makinde would fly the PDP flag in the March 2 gubernatorial election in the state.

The APC spokesman said, “Makinde is too inconsequential in the politics of the state but we need to counsel him to stop displaying his immaturity and inexperience in politics and governance. His candidature is being challenged and at the end of the day, he might not even be the authentic candidate of the party.

“We urge him to reflect on his political career as he is threading the path of political oblivion and there will not be salvation when he gets to that stage.

“Makinde should note that he cannot replicate the manipulation he perpetrated during the primary election of the PDP.

“He is currently being challenged at the court for the involvement of non-members of the PDP that were recruited to participate in the election that produced him as the PDP flag bearer,” Dr Olatunde pointed out.
