Governor Seyi Makinde has called on Nigerians to pray for Ayodele Fayose, following recent political accusations and remarks credited to the former Ekiti State governor.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said Nigerians had been “shocked” by Fayose’s recent comments, which he described as false accusations.
Oyelade said the governor was currently focused on addressing the security challenges in Oyo State
“Governor 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 over a long time,” Oyelade said.
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 also referenced past comments allegedly made by Fayose linking the governor to political tensions in the state, including claims related to the recent abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.
Oyelade further urged residents of the state and Nigerians at large to remain calm and hopeful, saying the government was working round the clock to secure the release of the abducted persons.
