…alleges bid to install Makinde’s loyalists
By Adeola Badru
The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that it will not participate in the proposed local government election scheduled for December, 2026, describing the exercise as illegal, ill-conceived and designed to serve the political interests of Governor Seyi Makinde.
The party accused the governor of attempting to install loyalists in local government councils ahead of the end of his tenure, insisting that the planned poll would further aggravate governance challenges at the grassroots level.
