Misplaced priorities, this guy just dey fall my hand every passing day.

How will a new Governor's lodge in Abuja contribute any value to the life of the average citizens of the State ?

Lol.. If he doesn't embark on this type of a charade of a project, how will he recoup all the money he spent trying to become a governor? That dude is nothing but a pretender hiding under the guise of a gentleman.

Well, Nigerian politicians have always been the same. It's only the packaging that makes them seem different. The most unfortunate thing is that we the masses perpetually and erroneously think and also believe that our misfortune is a party thing..

I tire ooooo... they just dey misuse funds while poverty is everywhere in d country

We thought Ajimobi is worst but this Makinde is nothing but a total failure of the highest order
putting the cart before the horse.

Seriously I never expect some thing like this from seyi makinde if it's so true......
imagine when insecurity is on a top chart in the state and seyi only cares about building a house which they only visit once in a while with 1.2billion u Bleep up.......

Useless project.

Put this money in state schools, rehabilitate hospitals in the wards and local Govt.

Fix bad roads within the state. Employ and pay debt the state is owing.

So na like this Nigerians mumu reach ?? any time them just elect them, dem go just loose sense.

No brain kai

..makinde, coded sharp shooter..

I know his type, they don't make noise, na them bad pass..

Enjoy your loots, man!

Rotfl @ the bolded. Na people destiny put together you just say make only person dey enjoy dey go so o..

On a more serious note, you're 100% on point! Oyo State don enter one chance. Just go to Twitter and FB and see how influencers flood his posts to protect and "sweet-mouth" him.

He's indeed managing the loot well. All he needs to do when he's done is, as usual, get a loyal person to continue from where he stopped. It's the norm in Nigerian politics. If he fails, like Ajimobi (tried to do), a new party comes in and the man upstairs gets swallowed up with time by the same spirit of greed associated with our politics. The cycle thus continues...

makinde is a product of PDP. Nothing good comes from that party.
His mate is Lagos is doing ground braking for various developmental project , this idiot want to waste money on Useless house outside Oyo state and don't be shocked it could finally be abandoned . PDP power.

This pathological brain sickness is in every nigerian politician.

GarriChairman:
What happened to the present Oyo State Government Lodge in Abuja?

Is this not a misplaced priority and waste of money when there is so much poverty and suffering around?

"Mr Sangodoyin explained that the old lodge was no longer fit for the governor’s use."

I use to think that Makinde is wise.
Is that project the need of Oyo people?
What's wrong with all these politicians?

The old (existing) Oyo State Governor's Lodge in Abuja no longer befits the Governor? And another jamboree, with "modern furniture" had to be built for N1.2 billion?

To those who truly believed that Makinde was "fresh air", when he was elected in 2015, he keeps disappointing them everyday!

They are largely the same- looters!!!

He won't abandon the project because he is going to buy it at the end of his tenure for N20m or even less.

Ajimobi was a good gov. But his mouth was something else, apc lost because of his mouth, when it comes to performance, Makinde never do 10% of wetin Ajimobi do

Misplaced priority and total waste of the state fund.

When was the old lodge built and what’s wrong with it? Can’t it be renovated??

Makinde and Dapo abiodun are nothing but mistakes to Sw

Nigeria has no true leader wanting to serve. There are all the same thing. Vision-less, bereft of a sense of priority and generally clownish, the so called leaders are called to serve their bellies.

Who builds a white elephant project in the middle of an inflation in a country with the worst economic metrics?

Plot to steal money.

One nigeria is the root problem.

sorry i have seen a lot of infrastructural projects dapo has executed .it is a bit better than makinde that collect 150b loan

The Nigerian mentality is so terrible.

Engr. Makinde, how can you demolish this mansion that is not even upto 20 years old. Why not renovate it if you feel it is outdated?

What makes you think that in the next 20 years, that the sitting governor won't demolish your 1.2billion proposed mansion?

The doctors in your state are leaving in droves to saner climes, yet you are more perturbed about Abuja comfort other than the health and welfare of the people that voted you hoping that you will make a difference?

We all know that the White House is over 200 years and no President in America will dare demolish it because it is outdated, rather, the older the better.

If true then this guy no get sense!

xtechx:
This is really disappointing from Makinde. That 1.2B would serve better use if channeled to grassroot projects in a city like Ibadan.

Governors don't need any "modern lodge" in Abuja. If they want comfort, let them lodge in a 5 star hotel, they have the money.

Africans have a taste for lavish luxury but our society lacks basic infrastructure.

unlike my kogi brothers that don’t even have a governors lodge gate house

Yorubas should resist this capital flight!

Awon were! Is this the next thing?

THIS IS AN EYE OPENER.
PDP TAKE OVER GOVERNMENT IN EDO STATE WHAT DID WE SEE EVER SINCE THEN LOOTING
PDP TAKE OVER GOVERNMENT IN OYO STATE WHAT DID WE SEE? LOOTING........................
PDP IS PLANING TO TAKE OVER GOVERNMENT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL......... SHINE YOUR EYE
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

You people said younger leaders are the way forward.

Behold the result

Media and critics
