The man believed to be the father of the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, Chief Theophilus Akinyele is dead!

The former Director of Budget and Special Adviser under President Shehu Shagari died today, he was 88 years old.

Though Chief Akinyele is not Governor Makinde’s biological father, he was a cousin to his father, they both hail from Ajia and he once confessed that Makinde’s father handed his son to him before his death, hence he (Governor Makinde) became his son.

The Governor was just mourning the death of his mother, Madam Abigail Makinde who died about a week ago when the news filtered in that Chief Akinyele too is no more.

During an interview with papermacheonline after Seyi Makinde won the governorship election, Chief Akinyele was quoted to have said ‘his father was worried when Seyi told him he wanted to come into politics, he brought him to me and stated his fears and I assured him that all is well’.

Governor Makinde is said to have always been in touch with the elder statesman and will surely miss his advice.

The late Chief Theophilus Akinyele is the Bobajiro of Ibadan and a former Registrar of the University of Ife.
