Former Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has revealed what he termed the “true story” of what happened in the Presidential Villa when Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State visited President Bola Tinubu on Thursday.
Fayose claimed that Makinde showed a lack of courage to face
Tinubu alone. He said the governor enlisted the support of his counterpart from
Plateau State.
In a statement he personally signed, Fayose said:
“First, Governor Seyi Makinde demonstrated that he now
lacked enough courage to face the President alone; he had to enlist the support
of the Plateau State Governor.
“The President told him that if it was about official
matters regarding Oyo State, he would listen to him.
“But if it had to do with politics, or any claim that it was
Wike who angered him to go on TV to accuse him (the President) of plotting to
turn the country into a one-party state, it is better to, as usual, go on TV to
say all he (Makinde) had to say.
“He was told pointedly that he can’t come to the closet on
political matters to eat his words while saying something different to the
public.
“Furthermore, the President told Governor Makinde that he
was not expecting any support from him regarding 2027, and that he should also
expect that he (the President) will support his party.
“Lastly, the President made it clear to Makinde that Wike is
someone whose support and consistency he (the President) cannot deny or wish
away. Therefore, if Makinde has issues with Wike, that is between the two of
them; I should be left out of it.
“That’s why Makinde told the press that he’s comfortable in
the PDP. It’s because of the reality that there’s nothing for him in the APC.
“And after this meeting, shouldn’t Makinde tell the people
of Oyo State if he has returned the N30bn he admitted to have received from the
Federal Government as an intervention fund for the January 2023 Ibadan
explosion?”
