The All Progressives Congress Professionals in Oyo State (APC-P) has described the turnout at the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) campaign flag-off in Oyo town as evidence of public rejection of Governor Seyi Makinde and his presidential ambition.

The group made the claim in a statement issued on Sunday by its Chief Convener, Alhaji Adekunle Lawal, following the campaign rally held on Saturday.

It criticised Makinde for allegedly failing to attract a large crowd to the event, arguing that a sitting governor should have been able to fill the small football field where the rally took place.
The APC group also alleged that the governor moved the event to the smaller venue in Oyo town to avoid the possibility of poor attendance at a larger location. It claimed that even after the change, the crowd failed to occupy half of the available space.

The group questioned what the turnout would have been if the rally had taken place at Adamasingba Stadium in Ibadan, describing the event as a failure.
It further criticised Makinde’s presidential ambition, urging him to stop spending public funds on what it called a misplaced political project. The group also dismissed the chances of his preferred governorship candidate, Bimbo Adekanmbi, in the next election.
APC-P warned local government chairmen against allegedly making council funds available to finance the governor’s political activities, insisting that they would be held accountable for their stewardship.
The group also vowed to pursue the recovery of any Oyo State funds it alleged had been spent on Makinde’s political ambition after May 29, 2027.
The claims and criticisms were made by the APC group in its statement.
