Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo
State has said that some people do not want him to succeed.
Recall that Makinde was
inaugurated as Governor of the State on May 29th 2019.
He was elected on the platform of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Makinde has, however, insisted
that some people do not want him to succeed.
He made this disclosure while
speaking at the 1443/2021 Hijrah Luncheon held at the Government House, Agodi,
Ibadan on Sunday.
Present at the event were Deputy
Governor Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, his wife, Professor Amdalat Olaniyan; Speaker,
Oyo State House of Assembly, Debo Ogundoyin; Chief of Staff, Segun Ogunwuyi;
Deputy Chief of Staff, Majeed Mogbonjubola, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu and
Islamic clerics
Makinde maintained that some
elements do not want his government to succeed.
He added that he saw the pictures
of the waterlogged pitch of Adamasingba stadium that were being circulated by
some people.
He said that the pictures were
being circulated by some elements who do not want him to succeed.
The governor added that his
administration will continue to balance political appointments between
Christians and Muslims in the state.
His words, “Some elements don’t
want us to succeed, no doubt.
“I saw the pictures of the
waterlogged pitch they were circulating but when our people shunned them, the
opposition elements went to pick some pictures from another location and made
it looked like it is from our Adamasingba Stadium. But what do they want to
gain from speaking untruth?
“When the issue of Hijra happened
before the pandemic, I had to call on some people to see how it would not
affect our productivity because I think we have many holidays already. But much
later when they came up with convincing arguments that if we declare a day to
celebrate Hijrah, it won’t affect our economy, I approved it. Not only did I
approve it, I also said we should look for a special day to celebrate where we
can wine and dine.
“I want to use the opportunity of
today’s event to address the issues some people brought up. Everytime I go
through the social media and read what people are saying, those who know how we
did campaign in 2019 will admit that we did not abuse anyone.
“As a matter of fact, the people
of Oyo State know we are doing the right thing. We released the Roadmap for
Accelerated Development of Oyo State (2019-2023) document, and told the people
to hold us accountable by the document.
“I am saying today again, go and
look at the document. All the things we are doing now have been documented and
we are just following the roadmap.”
