2027: Resort To Attacks Confirms Tinubu Is Afraid Of Election – APM

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has disclosed that the Presidency’s resort to “diatribes and disparagement” against the Presidential candidate of the party in the 2027 Presidential election, Governor Seyi Makinde, has confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is nervous about the coming election.

Reacting to an interview by Presidential Spokesman, Daniel Bwala, the opposition party said the Presidency constant attack on Makinde has further confirms that President Tinubu no longer command the support of majority of Nigerians ahead of the elections.

Abubakar Yusuf, National Publicity Secretary of the party in a statement in Abuja said, the 2027 Presidential race would be between Governor Makinde, standing with millions of Nigerians who are determined for a new beginning, adding that President Tinubu “only has the feeble support of a handful of sycophantic and arrogant citizens.”

While speaking about the performance of Seyi Makinde in Oyo State, APM said the Presidency is already been “intimidated because it has no tangible scorecard of achievements to present to the people.”

APM said because of the prevailing situation, “Nigerians across board has reached a consensus to replace President Tinubu with Governor Makinde at the 2027 election given Makinde’s outstanding performance as Governor of Oyo State.

“President Tinubu should be jittery because Governor Makinde is coming into the contest with an intimidating record of performance including transforming Oyo State to a foremost economically viable state, surpassing the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, according to data from Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), a feat Nigerians want him to replicate at the national level.

“The Tinubu Presidency is edgy because Nigerians are determined and eager to elect Governor Seyi Makinde, so that they can enjoy the benefits of his blueprint to revamp the economy, rejig our security architecture, rebuild collapse infrastructure, revitalize the productive sectors, end corruption and bring a new lease of life to the people.”

APM lamented that for the Presidency to suggest that a Presidential candidate with such army of support is “inconsequential” says more about the anxiety within the corridors of power than it does about the candidate.”

The APM said while it will not be drawn into a war of words, their focus remains on issues, adding that when “spokespersons of a government resort to name-calling rather than addressing issues, then they have nothing substantial to offer.

“We therefore counsel those speaking for the Presidency to engage Nigerians with issues or advice their principal to withdraw from the race if he has nothing to offer.”
