Makinde accuses APC of disrupting Obi's Benue visit, claims party fears 2027 loss

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde condemned the disruption of Peter Obi's visit to Benue, alleging the ruling APC is resorting to 'barbaric tactics' because it fears losing the 2027 presidential election. The incident underscores rising pre-election tensions in Nigeria, with opposition figures framing APC actions as desperation. The claim is unverified and reflects partisan rhetoric rather than confirmed facts.
