Seyi Makinde: I Have What It Takes to Lead Nigeri
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that he possesses the capacity to serve as Nigeria’s president.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, the two-term governor and prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emphasized his readiness for the nation’s top political role.
“I have no doubt about my ability to occupy the highest office in the land. I believe I have what it takes,” Makinde said. However, he noted that his future ambitions would be guided by the desires of Nigerians and the direction of his party. “The question is not just about what I want to do—it’s about what Nigerians want, and what the party will support. There’s still time,” he added.
Makinde also suggested that the 2027 elections will be a defining moment for the nation. “It won’t be about APC versus PDP—it will be Nigerians versus the APC.”
He concluded by expressing contentment with his political journey so far: “If it ends here, I am fulfilled.”
