Oyo State governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde on Saturday disclosed that no governor in the state has ever handed over to his successor after the expiration of their tenure in office.

Makinde while speaking during the Inauguration and Duty Commencement Service of the 8th President of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, held at the CAC International Headquarters, Ibadan promised that he would be the first governor in the state to hand over to his successor.

He said, “No governor has ever handed over to his successor in this state, Baba Lam Adeshina didn’t hand over to his successor, former governor Ladoja, Ladoja didn’t hand over to former governor Adebayo Alao Akala, Akala didn’t hand over to Abiola Ajimobi, and Ajimobi also didn’t hand over to me, but am standing in front of the altar of God, I will be the first governor to hand over to my successor.”

Makinde however commended the smooth process that led to the inauguration of the new CAC President, saying that though Nigeria is at the cross road, but priority of all Nigerians should be how to end crisis of division in the nation.

Is handing over an achievement

The most important thing is to make an impact in the lives of the citizens through developmental projects just like the late ajimobi did.

How was he expecting Lam adesina to hand over to Rasheed ladoja when it was very clear that Lam adesina was rigged out of power by President Obasanjo.

Rasheed ladoja too refused to handover power to adebayo alao-akala because lamidi adedibu used his influence to impeach ladoja and automatically there was bad blood between ladoja and akala because akala wasn't loyal

Akala too was roundling defeated by abiola ajimobi in the 2011 elections and it painned him to no end so he boycotted the handing over ceremony.

As for ajimobi not handing over to seyi makinde it was simply because of the disgrace that seyi makinde gave the APC in the 2019 election in oyo state. If ajimobi had gone to that handing over ceremony he would have being booed and even stoned to death by the PDP boys

FrLukas:
We can only hope that that won't be the only achievement of your administration when you're handing over, Mr Governor.
