Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has refuted reports of
attending a Labour Party, LP, presidential rally in Ibadan, the State capital.
Makinde described the report as false and misleading.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa,
Makinde said he was not in the State when the event happened.
Adisa said the report was aimed at confusing the people.
He said the governor was on leave and was nowhere near the
State during the rally.
Adisa said Makinde would not accept falsehood from Obi’s
supporters known as Obidient, adding that any attempt to drag the governor’s
reputation would not be accepted.
The statement read: “Our attention has been drawn to an
online publication, which indicated that Governor Makinde was spotted among the
Obidients during a rally in Ibadan, on Saturday, September 3, 2022.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Makinde was nowhere near Ibadan
when the said rally was held.
“How is it possible for the governor who was observing the
last days of his leave outside the country to be spotted among the so-called
Obidients in Ibadan?
“While we will not begrudge the Obidients’ desire to
propagate their candidate, we will not oblige anyone the luxury of dragging the
reputation of the Governor of Oyo State on accounts of false claims.”
