The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a statement urging Nigerians to hold Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde accountable for the challenges facing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), rather than blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The APC argues that Makinde’s leadership has significantly contributed to the party’s struggles.
Wasiu Olawale Sadare, the APC’s Publicity Secretary in Oyo State, said Makinde’s lack of capacity, experience and leadership traits has led to the PDP’s decline. He noted that the governor’s inability to lead effectively has caused many colleagues to leave the party, leaving Makinde as the only PDP governor in Southern Nigeria and one of only a few in the North.
The APC’s statement suggests that Makinde’s leadership is detrimental to the PDP and that he is unlikely to revive the party. It emphasizes that President Tinubu should not be blamed for the PDP’s problems; instead, the party’s own leaders must take responsibility for their shortcomings. The implication is that the PDP’s issues are internal and that the party needs to look inward for solutions.
The PDP has recently faced significant challenges, including the loss of several high‑profile members and a decline in national influence. These struggles have been attributed to internal power battles and a lack of effective leadership. The APC’s remarks are the latest development in the ongoing saga surrounding the PDP’s difficulties, and it remains to be seen how the party will respond to the criticism.
In the meantime, President Tinubu is expected to continue focusing on his duties, while the PDP works to address its internal challenges and regain its footing as a major political force in Nigeria. The outcome of these efforts will likely have significant implications for the country’s political landscape and will be closely watched by Nigerians and international observers alike.
