The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo state, weekend, came hard again on Governor Seyi Makinde over his utterances against Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, his erstwhile deputy, describing the development as not only unfortunate and shameful but also least expected from a sitting Executive Governor of a state.
It will be recalled that Makinde, who featured on a radio programme named: “State Affairs” anchored by a popular on-air-personality, Edmund Obilo, made some startling revelation on why he moved against his former deputy, Olaniyan whom he got impeached by the state House of Assembly on July 18, 2022 and replaced immediately with Barrister Bayo Lawal.for breaking news, videos, and the latest top stories in Nigeria & world news, business, politics, sports and pop culture.
“It is most uncharitable for a governor to have sponsored the removal of somebody who shared a joint ticket with him midway to their tenure of office over hear-says and unsubstantiated allegations of disloyalty and corruption. “It is now crystal clear that the story about Governor Makinde contracting Covid-19 in 2020 was scripted and acted for the purpose of getting an alibi to hang his then deputy even though we raised some questions, at that time, to invalidate the claims made by him, Makinde, because we knew certain things did not add up.
“Makinde should also be told in clear terms that we are aware of all he did to commission a popular shady character in Ibadan for the purpose of giving false revelation against Olaniyan over the same matter while the day of reckoning is fast approaching.”
