Comrade Usman Okai Austin, a former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal House of Representatives and national coordinator of the National Youths Frontier, has said Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is overwhelmingly qualified to pursue the Nigerian presidency.
Okai said Makindes two-term leadership in Oyo State and his visible achievements and extensive political experience qualifies him to be President.
The PDP chieftain made the remark while dismissing claims that Makinde is a mole working for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a statement he issued, Okai said, There's no harm in a governor aspiring for the Presidency.
He noted that while Makinde has yet to announce his post-tenure intentions, there is natural momentum among supporters calling for his candidacy.
