With this sort of defeatist attitude, it is clear that Makinde lacks the leadership acumen to take Oyo to greater heights. He is already making excuses for potential failure. Leadership is not a tea party. Very disappointing.

If Ibadan people curse this guy ehn? He better resign on May 30th. So, he knows Nigeria is a federation but will want to share in federal allocation gotten from more productive states. Yeye dey smell.

Oyo state don buy market. you guys should start doing some thing now concerning this incompetent governor.E never enter office well,e don dey goofed.think of how e go be if he spent just 12 months.

Not sworn in yet and true colours are displayed. If na pre-election them sign this bill now, u for they say u go pay double and on time too. Shame.

Makinde "Lo le so o" was what we kept hearing before the election. Now things don change.

Naijaalive:
The Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, has said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde in a report in Tribune published on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal governments should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.

Makinde told reporters in Abuja after attending the induction programme for returning and newly elected governors that he intends to negotiate with the Oyo state branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) because the state could not afford to pay the amount.

He said the federal government lacks the power to impose a national minimum wage of states since Nigeria is a federation.

Oyo 4 Oyo state... Sayi-Sayi, guyman don scam wasterners!

NoBetterNigeria:
Why didn't you tell Oyo people this before election my brother

they would have called it propaganda

Iamgrey5:
How many months is Ogun state owing jare?

I waiting for you o Mr oldlie !

Check and make inquiries yourself. I don't have your time

Oyo should enjoy themselves for bringing the unprogressive party back to west

Except from aregbe that was doing capital projects above his IGR APC states had been impressive mostly in west and Northwest


PDP is a party we will resist with our blood. Goto abia and anambra, if not for apga that's in control of anambra the useless PDP party would have grounded that state to the level of abia and Enugu

How did he come to the conclusion that Oyo State cannot pay the new minimum wage? Has he reviewed the financial position of the state or what? Does he even know the total workforce of the state? I think this is too premature and very unnecessary coming from him. He’s still the governor elect and not the substantive governor yet. He should get into office first and make informed decisions based on what is on ground before making reckless statements.

teebaxy:
God have Messi on Nigeria even on this day that the Messi himself will be merciless

rubbish!!messi is always merciless

I can see PDP supporting the madness by this useless Governor elect. One demented frog up there is even blaming Buhari.

I really hope this one is not going to be foolish. Careless talk ruined Ajimobi mot that this one is popular.

Iamgrey5:
Stfu

Oyo generates the seventh largest igr in Nigeria which is far more than most state in the East.

Shouldn't he wait to get into office first and assess the situation before churning out unwarranted excuses.

What about his own salaries and benefits? Shouldn't he be looking to splash that.

If Apc had won the last election and made such statements, would you have condone it?

He should get to office before he understands governance? So, he is blind to what the state can offer? Please if your opinion is different from mine, just express yourself without quoting me. We are not on the same page, please swerve

oldtruth:


Check and make inquiries yourself. I don't have your time

Show us evidence to back your allegations now or there is none ?

Maka why now?

fairfora:
APC governors except Lagos and Ogun cannot pay 30k miminum wage, pdp govs too. It's pure scam. How much is oyo igr? The security vote you guys are shouting upon, how much is it , state by state? When the money comes, do they pocket it? Where do you think all those police vans and money spent to keep states safe come from? Before you cast aspercion, why not wait and see how many states governed by the apc would be able to eventially pay the disputed wage? When the wage was not yet reviewed and signed into law, osun state with many others was owing workers up to 8 months. What do you think would happen now that the wage is 30k and the allocation has not increased? Reason logically bro.

So, what was the need to vote for him in the first place if he is only going to maintain the status quo

Governance !

My opinion!

Bruv, are you just trying to churn out ridiculous words just like the excuse of a governor?

We are talking about public finances here i.e the financial capacity of the government

Oyo state has the 7th largest igr in Nigeria, no state generating less should be able to pay the money ahead of Oyostate.

all these guys are CON artists aswearr.....

Haha... Scammer nla!

sarcasm I guess. However oyo don buy market.

Bella55555:
Well he probably wants to pay more than that I mean 30k is too small naaaah

before nko? he has to balance up the money he collected from that man from Cameroon. Oyo is on a long thing .. he thinks governance is like opening a cyber cafe and immediately expecting students to start registering for jamb.

When this man was campaigning he promised the people heaven on earth,now that he has been voted into office he is trying to crush the people's hope.
The 30k people are even saying that is not enough,Makinde is saying he can't afford to pay it.But he can feel comfortable with his own over a million salary.
Intact God will surely punish any governor who refuses to pay this peanut of a salary the over laboured workers of his state. And Oyo state workers should be ready to give this man the mother of all showdown should he stick to his word.

then better resign,idiot .

You wouldn't!! How would you?! When thy forty-five year old "delinquent" CHILD (for striving to learn the facts of life) has to be taught a lesson even one of thy own children has had to term thee a "lunatic" for deeming it fit to learn!! How would you! hypocrite!! When he must be made to earn money by no other means but that which grants him thy "toro kobo" sala see, or "borrow and break" as the only other alternative with which he can earn a living!! How would you?! FOOL!! The most apt description of the space between thy ears - as testified to by Solomon. How would you?! When you have to ascertain in all its entirety that you get to laugh at his grave with the words, "So, after all, what hast thou become?" (Hast thou not begun already - after having asked the question above of me for over fifteen years - hast thou not begun already to ask derisively, "So what did thou walk to become?". No, how would you?! Evil, damned, accursed society!! when thy guilt is such a part of thee in all its entirety that not only children born into lower socio-economic stratas than thy forty-five year old delinquent can dance happily on the streets (to the song, "We have killed a Professor's child" but even those that could have been said to be on the same socio-economic strata can this very night celebrate what they assume to be his imminent death - in the very same manner with which Fraudurians celebrated the death of Abacha on the streets!! Evil, damned, accursed nation!! Hast thou not even labelled him, "Abaka?" - to prove the extent to which thy evil intends to make sure he does absolutely nothing with the ten talents given him by his Creator!! How would you?! Evil, damned, accursed peepoo!! Obviously, you cannot!! Evil, damned, and accursed culture!! The likes of you are those that were spitting on Ghaddafi's corpse in Libya - even after all he did for their nation!! The likes of you are those that scourged, spat upon, and crucified The Christ - even after all the good deeds that were wrought by his hands in the midst of thee!! Evil, damned, accursed imbeciles!! Work very hard to make absolutely certain that you "WASTE" his entire life!! He deserves it!! FOOL!! After all, he is nought but meat, chicken, "that thing" - Lunatic, what else hast thou labelled him as?! Work very hard to make of his entire life a "WASTE." Evil, damned, accursed lunatics!! And after then, you can begin to pound your chests for twenty centuries more for having overcome "another one," for having proven that there is no righteous God, for having proven that might only is right!! After all, he and his ilk are not human beings - they cannot be, when they're not of thine!!

Oyo people, OYO is your case

Okay

Because he is a PDP Governor, your refused to include his party?

Bobinovic:

A man that hasn't been in office for a day is now a criminal. May you not be judged the way you judge.

His people voted for him because they believe that he will make things much better.

I might be wrong calling him a criminal but he hasn't been in office yet but he is exhibiting what one will do.
