My Achievements As Governor Prove I Have What It Takes To Be President – Seyi Makinde

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has come out to declare that he possesses the capacity to lead Nigeria as President come 2027.

He recently had his say during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his achievements as governor have proven his ability to occupy the nation’s highest office, and he has never doubted having what it takes to rule Nigeria.

He, however, added that while he believes in his ability, he remains uncertain about whether it aligns with the will of the people or his party at this time.

His words, “I don’t have any doubt that I have the capacity to occupy the highest office in this land, and I have what it takes.

But is it what I want to do right now? Is it what Nigerians are asking for? Is it what my party will say we should do? I don’t know. We still have a long time to go.

Where we are right now is, you know, we must fix our party. You must have a platform for you to even aspire to be anything.

Right now, I am focusing on what people, what they’ve given to me, the task ahead of us, and so, I’m not distracted, and I will not play stunt politics.

One thing you should expect from Seyi Makinde is that he will never come out to say, ‘Look, I want to do this, do X, Y, Z,’ without preparation and without being held accountable for whatever it is that I say I want to do.

If my political journey ends right here, I am also very happy. When I joined politics in 2007, I wanted to go to the Senate. I wanted to be a senator.

But now, not only have I achieved more than that by being the governor of my state, I’ve also cherished the opportunity that people gave to me to make my own little difference.”
