Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, says Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is responsible for the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in the state.

Fayose made the remark in an interview on Arise Television while reacting to the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.

According to him, Makinde was not proactive enough in addressing insecurity in the state.

I stand by my words. Seyi Makinde was not proactive enough. The abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo is a problem caused by Governor Seyi Makinde.

“It is the responsibility of the state government to mobilise the police. It is also its responsibility to manage the security network in the state,” he said.

Recall that suspected bandits abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State and later killed one of the teachers.

Fayose is truly frustrated

Fayose is fast loosing his mind and self control

AMINDA:
This whole thing is beginning to look suspicious seeing that Makinde's presidential ambition has been put on hold ever since the incident. We are all seeing how desperate some individuals will go to ensure that they are the only candidate on the ballot. The ones who threatened to "put fire in his state" should also be called in for questioning. So dark the con of man!

Governors in the following states are apparently not proactive enough because they have also recorded kidnappings in their states and some of the victims are even still in captivity; Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Borno, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, etc. State police might just be an opportunity for Tinubu to fully abdicate responsibility on security as we saw with the so-called local government autonomy. The "hold your governors accountable" merchants are about to go on overdrive.

You can't shame the shameless. So the Governor is now the commander-in-chief of the armed forces? Smh. Dey play.

MightySparrow:
Fayose was on top of security matters as a governor. He did not permit the excesses of fulanis. He personally would arrest not only cows but also errant fulani herdsmen.

He once led the police against a band of armed robbers. Ha was behaving as somebody who feared nothing as a governor.

Loved by his people. He is however, a thief like other politicians.

HacheNoire:
Oyo state security votes needs to be audited by a world renowned auditing firm.

How can a large scale crime occur in a state without instantaneous mobilization of security forces.

Fayose made valid points!
