A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has urged Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to tread softly while in power.
Fayose, who was the governor of Ekiti State 23 years ago,
noted that the governor should remember that his tenure will soon lapse.
The former governor said this while addressing journalists
in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Fayose spoke at the residence of Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba
Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja in Bodija area of Ibadan.
The former governor insisted that Makinde had plans to
dethrone the Olubadan.
He, however, noted that the tenure of the monarch is
determined by God and destiny, while the tenure of the governor is being
determined by the constitution.
He added that he was in Ibadan to show his support for the Olubadan.
Fayose said, “I said what I said, although it is not for
this gathering. The Olubadan has an eternal tenure with God. I was once a
governor at sometimes. Your tenure was tied with the constitution of Nigeria,
every other tenures like the Olubadan of Ibadanland is tied with God.
“Those who are fumbling today should remember that their
tenure is time-bound. Olubadan, by the grace of God, you will see another
governor, you will see another governor after that, you will see another
governor after that and God will keep you on the throne because Ibadan needs
you.
“If we have quality people on the throne, if we have quality
of people in power, Ibadan will benefit a lot. I have come to identify with
you. All these noise, all these bickering, they should remember, I was governor
23 years ago.
“Ignore the noise of your dogs barking in the compound,
Kabiesi, you have a lot of dogs, ignore their noise. If they need you, they
should contact you for advice. Let them know that I Peter Ayodele Fayose has
come here to identify with you, the Olubadan of Ibadanland on the happening in
Oyo State”.
