However, Governor Makinde, the only governor on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the southwest, disagreed with Tinubu while speaking at the inauguration of the zonal executive of the party held at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, on Wednesday, April 28, Daily Sun reported.
The Oyo state governor charged the national leadership of the PDP to start making necessary arrangements ahead of the next general elections, saying that the opposition party must show the entire country that it is ready to take power back at the centre, PM News also reported.
He said:
“I read in the newspaper that the National Leader of APC, said APC will be in power beyond 2023. It is a big lie. Let them hear that from this southwest PDP congress, the redemption of Nigeria has started.
