There will be consequences - PDP Chieftain slams gov Makinde for receiving Tinubu instead of Atiku

The governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, has been called out by Shina Balogun, an ally of PDP's flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, for welcoming the presidential bannerman of the APC Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ibadan and failing to do the same for his party's candidate.

Balogun vented his displeasure over Governor Makinde's actions via a tweet sighted by Legit.ng on Friday, February 17.

According to his tweet, he described Governor Makinde's action as anti-party behaviour that would come with enormous consequences.

"Few Weeks ago, Our Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar went to Campaign in Ibadan and Engr Seyi Makinde REFUSED to meet with him but today he HOSTED Tinubu and his Gang in his Office and also Endorsed him for President.

"This is against the Constitution of @OfficialPDPNig. There will surely be Consequences for this Anti Party Activity."

Recall that Atiku Abubakar visited Ibadan for his campaign rally, but the governor was absent and did not host the former vice president at the state house.

Makinde is a member of the PDP G-5 governors who have vehemently called for restructuring the party's leadership hierarchy in the build-up to the general elections.

The governor and his G-5 cohort demand the removal of Senator Iyorchia Ayu as the party's national chairman because the party cannot have its leadership and presidential candidate from the same region.
