The All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized Governor Seyi Makinde over his comment at the opposition parties’ summit, describing it as inciting.

At the summit, Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had, during the National Summit of All Opposition Political Party Leaders, referenced the “Operation Wetie” violence that rocked the South-West region in the 1960s, cautioning against a one-party state.

But the APC national spokesman, Felix Morka, faulted the governor for the remark, labelling it as “disgraceful”.

The “Operation Wetie” was a period of political tension in the South-West region, especially in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. It came after the disputed western region elections of 1965, which critics alleged were rigged in favour of the ruling party.
