2027: Defeating Tinubu in 12 States Is Wishful Thinking, Lagos APC Tells Makinde

The Lagos State chapter of the APC rejected the claim by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s campaign organisation that it would defeat President Bola Tinubu in 12 states in the 2027 presidential election. Lagos APC spokesman Seye Oladejo called the claim wishful thinking, saying that announcing victories does not guarantee an electoral mandate. The party questioned Makinde’s national organisation and urged him to address political divisions within his own camp in Oyo State. It contrasted his claims with Tinubu’s political experience and record of coalition-building.
