Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday, declared
that he would exit the office if that people make the demand.
Makinde said he was not bothered about the title, adding
that it was the reason he vowed to take decisions in the best interest of the
state and Yorubaland.
The governor made the comment at the Pan Yoruba Congress
held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan.
Noting that the administration had a duty to ensure lives
and property are secured, Makinde said the state will incorporate the non-state
actors into the new security architecture.
“By virtue of my office, I can see some certain things that
you cannot easily see and I stand on my honour to say that I will take
decisions in the best interest of my people”, he said.
“What do they want to do to Seyi Makinde? As I stand before
you, if I am being asked to leave the seat as the governor, I do not have a pin
to go and pick in my office in the Secretariat. I go there with my bag and go
back to my house with my bag.”
Makinde disclosed that at the last security meeting, he
created a War Room “because the issue of security is beyond rhetoric”. The
governor also set up a Task Force on Security, which he chairs.
He said soon, local security personnel who are not in
Amotekun, could be OPC or Soludero or State Vigilante as part of the voluntary
policing policy.
