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

The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Engr Seyi Makinde, has flayed the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu over his exclusion from the flag-off of the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu Ode Road.

DAILY POST reports that the Federal Government on Monday flagged off the dualisation of the road.

Our correspondent learnt that the road connects Ibadan in Oyo State with Ijebu Ode in Ogun State.

The programme was attended by 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.

Makinde, who doubles as the Governor of Oyo State, in his reaction, noted that he was not invited to grace the programme.

Makinde made this declaration via a statement issued by his Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade.

The statement was made available to journalists on Monday evening.

Makinde, in the statement, decried his exclusion from the programme.

He maintained that his exclusion indicates that the federal government led by Tinubu is taking the 2027 race too far.

Oyelade, in the statement, said, “The course of 2027 is set, and no level of indecorum or desperation from whatever quarters will hold back the will of the people.”
