Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has urged APM chieftain, Alhaji Alli, to channel his political energy toward promoting his party’s candidate for the 2027 elections rather than criticizing his administration. Speaking through his media team, Makinde emphasized that governance and electioneering are distinct responsibilities, and his government remains focused on delivering development projects and policies for the people of Oyo State.

The governor highlighted his administration’s achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic growth, stressing that distractions from opposition figures will not derail his agenda. He maintained that political parties should concentrate on strengthening their platforms and presenting credible candidates to the electorate, instead of resorting to attacks on sitting governments.

The governor reiterated his commitment to transparency and accountability, assuring residents that his administration’s focus remains on sustainable development and improved welfare for citizens.
