The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Seyi Makinde, has expressed his willingness to work with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Makinde made this known during an exclusive interview with Arise Television, which was aired on Friday.
The Oyo State Governor said he would find it easier to work with Wike than with President Bola Tinubu, adding that he would reject any offer to collaborate with the president.
Makinde, who said he was committed to liberating Nigerians through the forthcoming election, maintained that his disagreement with the FCT Minister was not as serious as his differences with Tinubu.
He described his issues with Wike as a breach of trust, stressing that the minister’s situation was different from that of the president.
According to him, Wike’s actions were based on a decision he was uncomfortable with. He said, “His case is different from the president’s.
He took a decision that I was not comfortable with.”
NEWSUNPLUG reports that Makinde, who was among the G-5 governors who opposed the PDP’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections, fell out with Wike after the election.
