PDP distances itself from reported Ibadan alliance with APM
Nyesom Wike-backed faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied any alliance or political arrangement with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ibadan. The party, through its National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed, stated that the event in Ibadan was misleading and unauthorized. The PDP leadership insists it is not part of any coalition or agreement with the APM or any other political group. The party also accused Governor Seyi Makinde and his associates of attempting to mislead the public about the nature of the gathering.
