Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, on Wednesday, said he was not afraid of losing the 2023 governorship election in the state.
Makinde,
who said he contested governorship elections in 2007, 2011 and 2015
respectively and failed, noted that “if the people of Oyo State ask me
to leave the office as governor today, I won’t hesitate to leave the
office because I go to office daily with my bag.”
The governor, who spoke at the pan-Yoruba Congress at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, also said he has no political father.
“Let
me tell you here today. I don’t have a political father. It was God who
made me governor and not human being. I fear only God and not any
human. No matter how powerful a man is, I cannot fear him.
“I
contested election in 2007, 2011 and 2015 but failed and when it is time
for God to make me a governor, he made me. If the people of the state
decided that they don’t want me again, I will only take my bag and leave
because I don’t have a pin in the office,” he said.
The governor, therefore, vowed to support the agenda of the pan-Yoruba Congress and development of the Yoruba nation.
