Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN has described Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as a disgrace to public decency and an embarrassment to the office he currently occupies.
Akeredolu, who is the flagbearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the October 10 governorship election in the state said the statement from Makinde that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has appointed his kinsman, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede as the returning officer for the election shows that the governor is an intellectual Lilliputian, who found his way to the corridor of power through mischief.
Ogunbodede is the Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State and he hails from Owo, the same town Akeredolu hails from.
Speaking through the Spokesperson of his campaign Council, Mr. Richard Olatunde, Akeredolu said Makinde, being a member of the Nigerian Council of State, should know that INEC would never, under any circumstance, appoint an indigene of the state as a Retuning Officer, but the Oyo Governor circumvented truth and decency for political exigencies.
Akeredolu’s statements reads in part, “We find as unfortunate, the statement credited to the Governor of Oyo State and Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the governorship election in Ondo State, Seyi Makinde, rejecting the Vice-Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, as the Chief Returning Officer for Saturday’s Governorship election in Ondo State.
“While it is forgivable for the PDP in Ondo State to continue to raise false alarm and make spurious allegations over the election, it is inexcusable for a Governor like Seyi Makinde to market ignorance in such a shameful manner. This ridicules, in no small measure, the exalted office of governor.

This Akeredolu man turned out to be the opposite of what I expected of him,he looked so classy when he set out but now,his behaviour reeks of bad energy!

The people of the state clearly dont like Akeredolu, he has turned the coffers of the state into his personal piggybank and even defended the meddling of his wife and spoilt brat of a son in official state matters as being beneficial to the state. In the Channels TV debate, he said "Ondo state got 2 for one" i.e. his wife and himself. Now I understand why he and his deputy fell out, since he made his wife the unofficial deputy governor. I really hope Ondo indigenes vote him out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was classy too juding by his looks but boy was I wrong!
ReplyDeleteHe’s so petty. I used to admire him in his silk way back at High Court , Ringroad. He looked so poise. Don’t like him anymore. He make everything an issue. He should learn to ignore sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile Makinde is one of the best and most hardworking governors right now.
