The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, needs divine deliverance, urging Nigerians to be prayerful for him following his recent broadcast on the kidnapped persons in Oyo State.
The governor also fingered the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in the abduction of the 46 persons on May 15, 2026.
These disclosures were made in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade.
In the statement, Oyelade stated that the Governor said Nigerians watched with shock as the former governor disintegrated before the eyes of the world by making a series of false accusations, apparently under certain influences.
It could be recalled that Fayose had said that Governor Makinde orchestrated the kidnapping of 46 persons on May 15, 2026.
Oyelade said Governor Seyi Makinde is too preoccupied with finding a solution to the challenges posed by the kidnappers of children and teachers in the state to engage someone whose lifestyle and comportment have been suspect for a long time.
He added that for a former governor to be so consumed by the politics of vindictiveness, vileness, deceit, and hate that he would further endanger the lives of those in captivity and distract security agents from handling this delicate job smacks of one who has lost his mind.
The Commissioner recalled that Fayose’s comrade-in-arms, Nyesom Wike, promised in November last year that he would “put fire in Oyo State,” and now the threat appears to be manifesting poorly.
The Commissioner also recalled that in April this year, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, shamelessly alleged that Governor Seyi Makinde was plotting to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
The Commissioner, therefore, contended that these false allegations and many others are sufficient to confirm their motive.
He noted that even President Bola Tinubu has publicly commended Governor Makinde twice since the kidnapping took place on Friday, the 15th of May.
The Commissioner urged the people of Oyo State and Nigerians at large to remain hopeful, noting that Governor Makinde has been working day and night to secure the release of the abducted children and teachers.
