Makinde Allegedly Eyes Wike’s FCT Ministerial Slot in 2027 — Adeyanju

Activist and human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has alleged that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is maneuvering to replace Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in 2027.

In a video shared on his social media platforms, Adeyanju described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a “distraction,” claiming that many party members are quietly supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

He said:

“PDP is a distraction; what is dead may never die again. I don’t want to bother myself about PDP now because everybody there is working for Tinubu. They are just looking for who will have the most bargaining chip.”

Adeyanju further alleged that Makinde’s ambitions include succeeding Wike in the FCT ministerial position, suggesting that such a move would indirectly help Tinubu secure a second term in 2027.

“Seyi Makinde wants to replace Wike and maybe he will become the next FCT minister in 2027. So he is more or less how we will make Tinubu come back in 2027. I will not join them in their caricature; I don’t have their time,” he added.

The PDP has yet to respond to these allegations.
