Makinde Tells Why He Will Not Stop Going To See Tinubu, Names Road After Wike

Governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde has declared he will not stop going to see President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock – and provided reasons.

Makinde made the disclosure in face of backlash over his recent visit to President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa informally known as Aso Rock.

Makinde is a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) while Tinubu is the leader of All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I will continue to go to Aso Rock to push for the refund of the money we spent on the roads. The Chairman of Lagelu, if you continue to come to us, I will continue to go to Aso Rock for a refund.”

The Oyo State Governor made the assertion while kicking off the dualization of Akobo Ojuirin/Odogbo Barracks to Olorunda Abaa junction by N O Idowu Comprehensive College in Ibadan on Friday, June 9, 2023.

He also used the opportunity to announce the naming of a road in the state after Nyesom Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State.

“Let me announce that Idi Ape to Olorunda Aba has been named as Governor Nyesom Wike Road. The road that stretches from Idi Ape to Olorunda Aba.

“The people of Olorunda Aba, you have endured but relief is here. Any property that will go, we will promptly pay the compensation. The road will be completed within 12 months”. Makinde disclosed.

Makinde and Wike are two of the PDP Governors widely credited with contributing to the emergence of Tinubu as the President of Nigeria.
