The chairmen accused Makinde of dishonesty, mishandling funds and failing to provide effective leadership for the party’s presidential campaign.
They questioned his ability to lead the APM into the 2027 elections, claiming he lacked the substance, political will and focus required of a presidential candidate.
According to the chairmen, Makinde had failed to work with the party’s established structures across the country, choosing instead to appoint campaign coordinators from outside the organisation.
They further alleged that the governor was using the party to advance his personal presidential ambition rather than respecting its internal structures and leadership arrangements.
The development signals growing internal disagreements within the APM as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections.
