Olubadan’s Younger Brother Tells Why Gov Makinde Doesn’t Want To Allow Him 2nd Term In Senate
was elected to the Senate in 2019
Kola Balogun, the younger brother to the new Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun has accused Governor Seyi Makinde of working against his return to the Senate.
Koa Balogun was elected to the Senate in 2019 and wants a return but the Governor of Oyo state appears to be vehemently against the move.
Telling his story in a statement titled” Real Facts Why Makinde Denied Olubadan’s Brother A Second Term Ticket”, the Senator representing Oyo South district asserted that“At the initial stage of preparation for the coronation of the Olubadan, the Governor was unyielding but a group within his house impressed upon him the implications of having two Balogun brothers as the Olubadan and as a Senator.
“Governor Makinde reportedly made some claims that I am not performing and that I am not taking care of the party leaders in the nine local government areas in Oyo South Senatorial District.
“I challenge him to publicly swear before the PDP stakeholders; before the people of Ibadan, Oyo South Senatorial District and the entire state that he took that decision solely because of the reasons stated in the report. If he can do this, I will come back to openly apologise to him.
“The allegation of non-performance against me is puerile. The record of my performance and achievements is in the public domain and it is hereby attached to this piece.
“Our conclusion from all of these is that these allegations are not only spurious, they are also pure lies from the pit of hell. Governor Makinde should remember that all power belongs to God and He gives it to whoever He chooses. The battle is still on and the final judgment is of the Lord.”
