The Oyo State All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals (APC-P), has described the poor outing of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Presidential Candidate, Seyi Makinde, at the flag-off of the party’s campaign in Oyo town on Saturday as a clear sign of rejection by the people of the State.
The group, which counseled Governor Makinde to stop wasting Oyo State funds on what it described as a misplaced presidential ambition, added that even in the mind of the governor, he knows that he is only joking and that his anointed governorship candidate, Bimbo Adekanmbi is going nowhere.
In a statement on Sunday, by its Chief Convener, Adekunle Lawal, the APC-P said it was shameful that a sitting governor could not completely populate a mini football field in a presidential and governorship campaign rally.
The APC-P disclosed that it was aware that Governor Makinde moved the rally to a small football field in Oyo town to cover the humiliation of a possible poor attendance, saying “too bad for him, he couldn’t gathered enough people to occupy half of the small space where he moved the rally too.
“So what if the rally was held in Adamasingba Stadium in Ibadan?”
The APC Professionals, which described the Oyo rally as a complete disaster and a show of shame, said even local council chairmanship candidate will pull more crowd.
The group vowed to ensure that every fund belonging Oyo State spent on what it called Seyi Makinde’s political misadventure is recovered after May 29, 2027.
It admonished local government chairmen to be mindful of keeping their treasuries open for use by the governor to fund his presidential campaign comedy, adding that each of the council chairmen will give account of their stewardship when the time comes.
