Successors can’t scrap institutions I created, Makinde boasts

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has stated that it will be difficult for any future administration to dismantle the strong institutions established by his government. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Makinde issued this warning on Thursday during the commissioning of a new office complex for the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA).

Makinde specifically cautioned his successor against attempting to scrap the Oyo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, as well as several other agencies. The list of institutions includes the Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency, the Oyo State Project Performance Monitoring Agency, the Oyo State Mobilisation Agency for Socioeconomic Development, and the Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency.

The Governor explained that these agencies were created to ensure orderliness within the state. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Makinde noted any attempt to dismantle these bodies could have negative implications for state affairs, adding that a government interested in the future of the state would not attempt to scrap them.
