The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to stop accusing it for the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Makinde at an event in Ibadan blamed the APC for the turmoil in PDP and other opposition parties.
Reacting in a statement, Mr Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity counseled the PDP to do a soul searching and address its problems.
Morka advised the governor to focus on his primary assignment of providing good governance to his people.
“He should not point accusing fingers at APC for the rot in his party.
“Makinde has become the leading but rather shoddy drummer for his 2027 political ambition.
“While our democracy affords Makinde the liberty to his political aspiration, however, engaging in reckless executive flippancy, at the expense of the job he was elected to do as governor, is a disservice to the good people of Oyo State.
“They should take full responsibility for their disgraceful failure to handle the party’s implosion and decay,” the APC spokesman said.
He added that Makinde’s unhinged 2027 political ambition could not be founded upon his unguarded and unjustified attacks against the APC or the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
He said the Tinubu-led administration had launched the boldest and most ambitious reform effort in history to transform the country’s economy and build a solid foundation for progress.
Morka said the country was now exporting more than it was importing with a trade surplus of nearly N7 billion at the end of second quarter of of 2024.
“Instead of prioritising the needs of Oyo people who elected him to tackle their local issues, he has chosen to divert his attention.
“Makinde must know that Nigeria’s scale and complexities demand more than his vain and self-indulgent ambition.
“He cannot even speak for the people of Oyo State regarding their future electoral choices or decisions let alone speak for Nigerians,” he stressed.
