Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State

IBADAN — The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised Governor Seyi Makinde over his comments on the security situation in the state, describing them as a misrepresentation of the constitutional role of state governors in addressing insecurity.

In a statement on Sunday by its spokesman, Olawale Sadare, the party faulted Makinde’s claim that he is constrained in tackling insecurity because security agencies are under the control of the Federal Government.

The APC described the governor’s remarks as “a height of cluelessness, insincerity and criminal ineptitude,” insisting that he cannot shirk responsibility for the security challenges facing the state.
