APC Blasts Makinde Over Ibadan Declaration, Questions His Leadership

The All Progressives Congress (APC), which is in charge, has attacked Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, saying he doesn’t deserve his job.

This happened after Makinde brought up “Operation Wetie” at an opposition summit in Ibadan, Oyo State, last Saturday.

The APC said that what the governor said was a careless call to violence.

Remember that Makinde spoke at the national summit of All Opposition Political Party Leaders and warned against what he called a dangerous consolidation of legislative power under one party.

“For those who are living like there’s no tomorrow. They should keep in mind that this is where “Operation Wetie” began. He told the people there that this was the same as the Wild Wild West.

The name “Operation Wetie,” which comes from a Yoruba phrase that means “wet him,” refers to the political violence that took place in Nigeria’s western region, especially Ibadan, in the mid-1960s.

The APC quickly responded with a statement from its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Sunday. He said it was very troubling that a sitting governor and Chief Security Officer of a state would use such a violent historical reference.

The party in power said that the comments could lead to chaos, violence, and a lack of respect for the law.

The party said, “Makinde has shown that he is not fit for the high office of Governor by calling for violence.”

It then told security and intelligence agencies to take action and made it clear that constitutional immunity does not protect public officials from being held responsible for statements that are seen as a threat to national security.
