Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has pleaded with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to refrain from causing political upheaval in Oyo State. This plea follows Wike's earlier threat to ignite political crises in states where PDP governors support Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara's bid for control of the party's structures.
Governor Seyi Makinde has begged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike not to set Oyo State on fire. Wike had a few weeks ago threatened to 'put fire and cause a political crisis in the state of any PDP 's governors pushing for the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara to take over the structures of the party in the state. Makinde made the plea on Saturday, September 28 2024, during a reception organized for Wike by the Ijaw World Congress in Port Harcourt.
According to him, ' I came to Oyo to identify with my brother and the celebrant of today. When I showed up in Rivers yesterday I told him that I brought a peace offering because he has been boasting that he would put fire in some states. I told him please, don't set fire in Oyo State.
