Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has addressed speculations regarding his potential defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC, amid recent moves by some opposition governors to join the ruling party.

Makinde spoke on Wednesday in Abuja during the public launch of ‘Headlines and Soundbites: Media Moments that Defined an Administration’, a book authored by former Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.

“I am not APC, and I am not about to become APC,” the governor declared.

He stressed that Nigeria’s progress depends on sincere collaboration among leaders across political divides to advance the country.

Governor Seyi Makinde stated that Nigeria’s deepening divisions are largely fueled by the ambitions of the political elite rather than the desires of ordinary citizens.
