The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has sharply criticized Governor Seyi Makinde, labeling his recent statements regarding the state’s security challenges as a misunderstanding of his constitutional role. State APC spokesperson, Olawale Sadare, dismissed the governor’s claim that he is limited in addressing insecurity because security structures are under federal control. Sadare condemned the governor’s stance as an example of “cluelessness, insincerity and criminal ineptitude,” arguing that he is failing to accept responsibility for the state’s security issues.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Furthermore, the APC has called for Governor Makinde to resign, suggesting his deputy should finish the remaining year of his term. The party’s statement characterized leaders like Makinde as a threat to societal growth and urged voters to reject them in future elections.

This criticism follows remarks made by Governor Makinde during his acceptance speech as the presidential candidate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ibadan on Saturday. During that address, he stated that his ability to rescue abducted individuals—including schoolchildren—is restricted because he lacks absolute authority over security agencies.
