Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has advised aspiring candidates for the 2027 governorship election to stop using his administration's shortcomings as a campaign strategy. He made this statement during a programme in Ibadan, the state capital, where he appeared to take a dig at popular broadcaster Oriyomi Hamzat, a contender for the position.
Makinde emphasized that he will not be contesting the election and urged those seeking his seat to propose their own plans for the people of Oyo State, rather than dwelling on his administration's failures or his role in his rise to power. He suggested that voters should demand accountability from all candidates and ask them to explain how they would improve upon the achievements and address the shortcomings of his administration.
