Makinde said the understanding, reached before the 2023 general election, was that Tinubu would establish a government of national unity if elected President, bringing different political interests into the administration rather than governing exclusively through the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Riman, who disclosed this to THEWILL in Uyo, said the attack occurred on October 23, shortly after he and his daughter presented the portrait to Makinde during his presidential consultation visit to the Dome Centre, Akure.
Makinde gave the assurance on Sunday during a visit to the community, where he commiserated with residents over the Palm Sunday attack that claimed 33 lives and left several others injured.
Makinde made the declaration on Wednesday in Abuja during the unveiling of his Reset Agenda manifesto ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
Makinde unveiled a four-point agenda covering education, security, the economy and Nigeria’s socio-political structure at a town hall meeting of the MakindeDaura 2027 presidential campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday.
At the centre of the escalating dispute is Makinde's claim that each state was expecting ₦250 billion from NLNG dividends but that the Federal Government had decided to withhold the money until after the 2027 general election — an allegation the Presidency says “defies basic logic and economic reality.”
The campaign organisation said there should be “no second term without accountability,” accusing Tinubu of attempting to avoid direct engagement with voters after allegedly failing to fulfil key promises made during the 2023 presidential campaign.
Ogunwuyi resigned on Monday, October 12, 2026, with immediate effect, becoming the latest political appointee to leave the Makinde administration in recent weeks as political manoeuvring gathers momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi appealed on Monday in Abuja during the commissioning of the 2027 presidential campaign office of Oyo State Governor and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Seyi Makinde.
