The Nyesom Wike-backed Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has blasted Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, noting that propaganda has an expiry date.
This is as the faction publicly disowned a political gathering in Ibadan, Oyo State, accusing Makinde of using a purported alliance with the Allied Peoples Movement to advance his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections.
The factional National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, during a press briefing on Thursday, said the party had no involvement in the Ibadan gathering being 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.
“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.
“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 said.
According to him, the Ibadan gathering had exposed what he described as Makinde’s real political direction.
