Sunday Igboho Criticises Makinde Over Stage-Jumping Challenge

Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho has criticised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his stage-jumping display at a political gathering in Akure, Ondo State. Makinde jumped from the stage while speaking about physical stamina and the demands of the 2027 presidential election. He urged other presidential hopefuls to show similar fitness, a comment widely viewed as a jab at President Bola Tinubu. Reacting in a video shared online, Igboho described the display as disrespectful to the President. He said political leaders should focus on leadership capacity rather than using physical agility as a measure of suitability for office. The incident has continued to generate debate over whether physical fitness should feature prominently in discussions about presidential candidates.
