The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign
Committee in Oyo State has denied having a standing agreement with the state
Governor, Seyi Makinde, as erroneously believed in some quarters.
A member of the committee in the state, Nike Ajagbe, who
stated this in a chat with journalists in Ibadan, on Wednesday, said the
president-elect, Bola Tinubu, was a party man, who cannot joke with the success
of APC across the country, especially the South-West which he regarded as his
stronghold.
Ajagbe explained that it was in the programme of the
campaign committee to visit all the opposition governors whenever they are in
their states for campaign, hence nobody should see it as endorsement but a
privilege to host a widely accepted presidential candidate.
She said, “It was in the programme of the campaign committee
to visit all the opposition governors whenever they are in their respective
states for campaign, so people should not see it as an agreement or they struck
a deal. No standing agreement whatsoever between them.”
While citing Rivers State and others where Tinubu visited
their Government Houses before proceeding on campaign grounds, Ajagbe said she
was part of the visit of the president-elect to Makinde and no agreement was
between the campaign team and Makinde.
“People are surprised to read that Governor Makinde was
claiming he had an agreement with the president-elect when he was unable to disclose
his support for the president-elect openly, especially when he remarked that
people of the state should vote for unifier of the country during the
governorship debate on Splash FM.” Ajagbe stressed.
