CITIZENS COMPASS— The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Movement (APM), Seyi Makinde, on Friday, said he is open to working with Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to reset Nigeria, but not with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking on the 2027 presidential election on Arise Television, he said he has had engagements with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, and that discussions are still going on even with the little time left before the elections.
Makinde is the sitting governor of Oyo State.
According to him: I have engagements with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Even with the little time left before the elections, we are not stopping, we are still discussing. The Oyo State governor said he is open to some sort of alliance with any of them to reset Nigeria.
According to him, the relationship between opposition leaders should be cordial because they can play different roles at different times.
He, however, made it clear that President Tinubu is not part of the alliance he is considering.
Makinde, while insisting that Nigeria needs a new direction, stressed that it cannot come from working with the current administration.
