‘He Deserves No Second Term’- Seyi Makinde Reacts To Tinubu’s 2023 Electricity Promise Ahead Of 2027

• APM presidential candidate and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his record on electricity, referencing a 2023 campaign promise concerning stable power supply.
• Makinde said Tinubu should not receive a second term if the promise has not been fulfilled.

APM presidential candidate and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has said President Bola Tinubu should not get a second term if he fails to deliver on his earlier promise to improve electricity supply in Nigeria.

Makinde made the statement while speaking today, September 21, 2026, as he referenced a statement Tinubu made during the 2023 presidential campaign.

He said:

“President Tinubu deserves no second term because he once said that if electricity is not fixed, Nigerians should not vote for him.”

During the 2023 campaign, Tinubu said Nigerians should not vote for him for a second term if he failed to provide constant electricity within his first four years. The statement has since been cited by political figures and commentators while assessing his administration’s performance in the power sector.

Makinde, who emerged as the Allied Peoples Movement’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election in May 2026, has increasingly criticised the Tinubu administration as he campaigns on the APM platform.

His latest comment has sparked reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing with the argument while others criticised Makinde and questioned his own record in government.
