You need the 66 per cent of Nigerians that were against him in 2023 to be on board. This is a national project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor also criticised what he described as pressure on elected officials to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, alleging that some governors were compelled to defect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at what we\u2019ve seen. You have the governors come to APC. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll be blackmailed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makinde, who is seeking the presidency in 2027 under the Action Peoples Party (APM), also addressed whether he would accept defeat if the election was free, fair and credible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to a question on whether he would concede defeat and retire to farming, the governor said he would accept the outcome if the electoral process met the required standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are a few things that must happen. If the process is free, fair, and credible, yes, I will,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when asked whether he would remain in the APM after the election, Makinde said his political future would depend on how Nigerians received his political agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI may evaluate my political future depending on how Nigerians, you know, see this agenda,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/makinde-scores-tinubu-administration-34-per-cent\/\">Makinde scores Tinubu administration 34 per cent<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has scored President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration 34 per cent, saying the government has failed to secure the support of a majority of Nigerians.
