Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has firmly dismissed speculation of a potential defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
The governor, who met with the President on Thursday, clarified that the engagement was purely centered on matters of state and national development. He used the opportunity to reiterate his unwavering loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he remains a leading figure.
Political observers had been rife with conjecture about the governor’s political direction after the high-profile meeting. However, Governor Makinde has moved swiftly to quell such rumors, asserting his commitment to his party and its principles.
This statement aims to reassure his political base and stabilize the PDP’s structure in the South-West region ahead of future elections.
