2027: Makinde tackles Tinubu over exclusion from Ibadan/Ijebu Ode road dualisation programme

Engr Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has criticized the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, for excluding him from the launch of the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu Ode Road. The road, connecting Ibadan in Oyo State with Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, was inaugurated on Monday, with the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, the All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate in Oyo State, Senator Sarafadeen Alli, and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in attendance.

Makinde, who serves as the Governor of Oyo State, expressed his disappointment in a statement issued by his Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, stating that the exclusion implies the federal government led by Tinubu is pushing too hard in the 2027 race. Oyelade emphasized that the course of 2027 is set and that no level of indecorum or desperation will deter the will of the people.
