Olaniyan, who described the relations between himself and his boss as 'cordial', said he has chosen to disregard all those who want to cause disaffection and rancor between them.
Oyo Deputy Governor Rauf Olaniyan has put to rest the speculations of rift between him and Governor Seyi Makinde.
Speaking on achievements of the administration, which would be a year in a matter of days, the Deputy Governor noted that there is no need to begin to banter figures or trade words with those who don’t believe in the modest achievements of the Makinde-led administration. “When you are trying to reset an already battered economy, battered administration and everything battered, when you are trying to reset, it is not just as you get there that you start the movement.
When asked about insinuations his experience in public service was causing issues with some people in the Makinde government, Olaniyan said he doesn’t see the need for such. “On my last birthday, the card Governor Makinde gave me has the inscription, ‘My Co-Pilot’, and that is it. Believe me, anybody can say whatever they like. Even at the national level, it does happen.
“Governance is not a straight jacket thing like people think. Everywhere all other the world you find people who wants to cause disaffection. They can be here too, but as far as I am concerned, I drew up an equation and equate them to zero as not existing.
