South West PDP warns Oyo APC over attacks on Gov-elect Makinde

The South West Zonal arm of the People Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State over what it described as series of attack on the Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde.

PDP noted that APC in Oyo state was planning to distract the governor-elect ahead of his resumption into office.

The Zonal Publicity Secretary of the party, Ayo Fadaka in a statement issued on Friday in Akure, maintained that PDP is currently worried over the series of attacks which the outgoing government in Oyo state had launched towards Makinde.

“The PDP has taken note of the unnecessary attacks the Governor-elect of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde has constantly been subjected to by the APC”, the statement by Fadaka read.

He added, that “Much like the content of the numerous press statements issued against him has been deemed infantile, we still feel duty bound to let the APC in Oyo State know that the interest of the people far surpasses partisan considerations. They should therefore compulsorily know that they owe the state responsibility of allowing the Governor-elect to assume the reigns of office and settle down to discharging his responsibilities without their unnecessary distractions.”

Recall that Oyo APC, a few days ago, condemned the state’s governor-elect over his statement that the state has no capacity to pay the N30,000 minimum wage signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

APC said that Makinde is being haunted by his attempt to default on his electioneering electoral promises.

The APC Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr AbdulAzeez Olatunde, in a press release on Thursday claimed the governor-elect was trying to stave off criticism on his unpreparedness to govern Oyo State.
