2027: Propaganda Is Temporary – Wike-Backed PDP Criticizes Makinde

The Nyesom Wike‑backed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, arguing that propaganda is only temporary.

The party publicly disavowed a political gathering in Ibadan, claiming that Makinde was attempting to use a supposed alliance with the Allied Peoples Movement to further his ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections.

During a press briefing on Thursday, factional National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Haruna Mohammed clarified that the PDP had no involvement in the Ibadan event, which was promoted as a PDP/APM alliance meeting.

“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,” Jungudo said.

“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,” he added.

“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,” Jungudo continued.

According to him, the Ibadan gathering revealed what he described as Makinde’s true political direction.
