Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s Chief Press Secretary, Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, has dismissed speculations of a rift between his principal and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

However, recent developments have sparked rumours of a potential fallout between the two ahead of the 2027 elections. Currently, the party remains divided over whether Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum should remain in office. While Wike supports Damagum’s stay, Makinde and three other governors share the same stance.

Instead, the governors unanimously backed Sunday Ude-Okoye, a move widely seen as a setback for Wike.
