Oyo LG Chairmen Back Makinde, Praises Summit
In Oyo State, local government chairmen have declared support for Governor Seyi Makinde, praising his role in hosting the recent opposition summit in Ibadan.
They said the gathering helped strengthen efforts to protect Nigeria’s democratic system.
The forum described the meeting as a key moment for opposition politics, bringing together major figures and stakeholders committed to sustaining a multi-party structure.
They noted that discussions at the summit focused on improving political cooperation ahead of future elections.
According to the chairmen, one major outcome was a shared plan among opposition leaders to work towards presenting a single presidential candidate.
They said this approach could improve political competition and give Nigerians stronger alternatives at the polls.
The group dismissed criticism from the All Progressives Congress, insisting Makinde’s comments were not meant to incite unrest.
They urged citizens to defend democratic values and support efforts that promote fairness and accountability.
