Engr Seyi Makinde recalled similar imposition in 2011 when former Governor Lam Adesina was sidelined in the process leading to the adoption of Governor Ajimobi a decision that has drawn the state back leading to record indebtedness yet unsurpassed since the creation of the state in 1976.
The PDP candidate who expressed his profound gratitude to the National and state Leaders, state Executive, Delegates and entire members of PDP in Oyo state for overwhelming support accorded him during the just concluded governorship primary where he emerged as PDP Candidate in forthcoming 2019 General elections.
He  asked ‘Why must outsiders insist on their stooges to rule us in oyo state and why must we always accept their orders when what is left is a crumbling Empire’
Makinde said that for him the masses of oyo state remain his motivators because they won’t ask for contracts and would insist that we build the state together for the benefit of all.
