The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Movement, APM, Seyi Makinde, has said he is open to working with Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to reset Nigeria, but not with President Bola Tinubu.
Makinde made the statement on Friday during an interview on Arise Television, where he spoke on the 2027 presidential election and ongoing talks among opposition leaders.
He said he has had engagements with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, and that discussions are still going on even with the little time left before the elections.
“I have engagements with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Even with the little time left before the elections, we are not stopping, we are still discussing,” Makinde said.
According to him, the relationship between opposition leaders should be cordial because they can play different roles at different times.
He, however, made it clear that President Tinubu is not part of the alliance he is considering.
Makinde, while insisting that Nigeria needs a new direction, stressed that it cannot come from working with the current administration.
