Makinde Vows To Step Down As Oyo Gov If…..

The governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has vowed to exit the office if the people make the demand.
The governor, who declared that he was not bothered about the title, said it was the reason he vowed to make decisions in the best interest of the state and Yorubaland at large.

The governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has vowed to exit the office if the people make the demand.

Makinde made the vow at the Pan Yoruba Congress held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Wednesday.

The governor, who declared that he was not bothered about the title, said it was the reason he vowed to make decisions in the best interest of the state and Yorubaland at large.

While noting that the administration had a duty to ensure lives and property are secured, Makinde said Oyo 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.

“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,” the governor said.

Makinde further disclosed that he created a War Room at the last security meeting, saying “because the issue of security is beyond rhetoric”.

The governor also set up a Task Force on Security, which he chairs, adding that the local security personnel who are not in Amotekun, could soon be in OPC or Soludero or State Vigilante as part of the voluntary policing policy.
