Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has told those jostling to succeed him in 2027 to stop using his administration’s shortcomings as a campaign strategy, saying he will not be on the ballot in the governorship election.
Makinde, who spoke at a programme in Ibadan, the state capital, on Monday, also appeared to take a swipe at popular broadcaster and Accord governorship candidate, Oriyomi Hamzat, over claims by some political actors about his role in Makinde’s emergence in politics.
The governor said rather than abusing him or dwelling on what his administration had failed to accomplish, those seeking to be his successor should tell the people of Oyo State what they intended to do differently if elected.
“I have seen a few people going around saying they want to become governor. I saw another one that they showed me yesterday saying he was the one who brought me into politics. Some even said I didn’t do some things.
