2023: Why It Will Be Difficult For APC To Defeat Seyi Makinde In Oyo – El-Rufai

Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, has admitted that defeating his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, in 2023 would be difficult for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

On Friday, El-Rufai spoke at a commemoration and send-off ceremony for Nteranya Sanginga, the outgoing director-general of the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA).

The Kaduna governor, on the other hand, stated that the APC will do everything possible to unseat Makinde, but it will be difficult because he has governed well.

Both governors recalled their argument over whether to lock down their states during the COVID-19 outbreak during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

“After that debate, I went back to my state and I locked it down. Seyi (Makinde) went back to his state and did a partial lockdown. But he locked himself down because he got COVID.

“In my state, I did what I felt was the right thing and he did what was best for his state.

“We’ll do our best to defeat you. But I know it will be tough because you have been a good governor,” El-Rufai said.
