Makinde accuses Tinubu of breaching 2023 political agreement

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde claims President Bola Tinubu has breached a written agreement to form a government of national unity after the 2023 presidential election. Makinde maintains that the deal influenced his decision to support Tinubu, despite his party affiliation. The governor refutes allegations that personal loyalty or ethnic background guided his support for Tinubu.

He stated that he still possesses the agreement, emphasizing that his backing for the President was based on an expectation of a more inclusive administration. Makinde criticized the President for failing to uphold the commitment, questioning whether Nigeria has benefited from the purported unity arrangement. He challenged critics to demonstrate the fulfillment of the agreement, arguing that the government should now demonstrate national unity.

Makinde's disclosure sheds light on his decision to back Tinubu, distancing himself from party politics and instead focusing on the broader political landscape.
