Wike Faction Disowns Makinde’s PDP-APM Alliance
The Nyesom Wike-backed faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has strongly criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, warning that his “propaganda” will soon expire.
This faction has publicly disowned the political gathering held in Ibadan, accusing Makinde of leveraging a fake alliance with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for his 2027 presidential bid.
National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Haruna Mohammed clarified that the party had no involvement in the event, which he described merely as a social gathering.
During a press briefing, Jungudo said, “We have called this briefing to address the misleading narratives and deliberate falsehoods being circulated concerning the social gathering scheduled to be held today in Ibadan under the guise of an alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party and the Allied Peoples Movement.”
He firmly rejected any formal ties, stating, “Let us state clearly and unequivocally that the PDP is not part of any alliance, coalition, agreement, or political arrangement with the Allied Peoples Movement or any other political party regarding this gathering or any related political activity.”
Mohammed warned that those involved lacked the party’s mandate, saying, “Any person or group claiming to be acting on behalf of the PDP in connection with this event is doing so without the knowledge, approval, consent, or authority of the party.”
