Personally I like makinde, his a nice man but I doubt is ability to manage oyo state better than Adelabu.
Adelabu will do better in term of infrastructure development and revenue generation but there will be less money sharing in his government while makinde will be a big donor to many people that will be need of cash in his government but infrastructure will be less.
This are the main different between APC and PDP government. We should choose what we want among the two.

I'm very certain that the people of Oyo hate the master/slave relationship so typical of Tinubu. Even elected governors with all their rights act as slaves to Tinubu, they rather please him than please the people who elected them. Makinde is the man of the people, Oyo people should make no mistake by not voting him come March 9th. Oyo must work again and that can only happen when you give Makinde an overwhelming majority vote.

Here Is Why APC Will Never Win Oyo Gubernatorial Election; Not Just Because Of Ajimobi



Try and meet anybody on the streets of Oyo state and ask who their next governor is, the simple brief answer they will give you is "Seyi Makinde". Many card carrying members of the APC party in Oyo state will also give you similar answer due to facts as explored in this writeup.


It is no longer a new fact that the present outgoing Governor of Oyo State, Senator Isaac Abiola Ajimobi, has stepped on many toes, he is megalomanaic and has lifted himself to the status of a deity. He lacks Iwa Omoluabi, sympathy, and has insulted the intelligence of both young and adult citizens of Oyo state who elected him for the governorship mandate. This may be a minor issue anyway among several reasons why peope of Oyo state will not vote the APC candidate.


The recent intervention by Tinubu and the weakling action exibited by a former governor and gubernatorial candidate of ADP, Alao Akala are just actions and despiration which will end in futility if the mandate of the people is allowed.


1. Mr. Tinubu is the pro chancellor and chairman of governing council of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Lautech, and the both state governors whose Lautech is in their charge are member of APC party where Asiwaju Tinubu is their party leader. We expect him to use his influence to bring about a change but as much as I know, he never for once show any care to call the two governors and liase with them about how an end can come to the incessant strike in the institution.

A Yoruba adage stated: Agba kii wa l'oja ki ori omo tuntun o wo, but I dont think this context can be apply to Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu with what has happened in the history of Lautech. However in contrast and for whatever reason it maybe, whether political or eleemosynary, Seyi Makinde was the greatest donor of the #SaveLautech donation.


2. With the many wealth of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu of Lagos state and years of his been the Chacellor of the University, Lautech, I have not notice a single structure in the school in his name built by him; not even a classroom. I remember I saw him fly and landed one of his Helicopters in the school premises but what has this got to do with the thousands of students whose destinies were put on hold, and the insult by the "constituted authority" who instead of putting soothing balm on the wounds of the irate students, decide to treat them like nonentity.

Now Asiwaju Tinubu is coming around to act like a god and a savior of Oyo state.



3. The Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, the Oyo APC gubernatorial candidate has tried to divide the good people of Oyo state along the religion line (using the divide and conquer trick). His religous instigating comments about Seyi Makinde showed how distant he has been from the people of Oyo state over the time.

Residents of Oyo state are educated and mature beyond the shackles of religion, we are elites and cannot be limited by religion. Every extended family in Oyo state is a mixture of people of both religion.

That statement of his with intention to cause division using religion shows that he is not better than the present outgoing Governor. An elder state man and a true leader will never and ever cause division amoung his people. If Adebayo is given the chance, he will turn the back of many people and create more division in the Oyo state to achieve his any goal and the will of his god fathers.


4. Mr. Tinubu cannot extend his god fatherism and hegemony to Ibadan and Oyo state at large as we all know the result of his political dominance in the Lagos state. We need no governor who will exalt the will of his god fathers (about three of them) over the will of the people who voted him into office.

Even, many of the card carrying APC member will not vote Adedubu as they still regret the fact that Mr Tinubu of Lagos state in conjuction with Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state brought Adebayo Adelabu and lord him over the APC party in Oyo state disregarding the rights to have a say of other party member who have been loyal to the party and have working for it in the past eight years.


Note:* I'm not politician, I dont belong to any political party and have never meet or have any thing to do with Seyi Makinde. These are my observations over the time and considering the recent happenings in my state, Oyo State.

Is this a joke or word out of ignorance? In terms of academic qualification, Seyi has it than Adelabu. In terms of exposure, experience about management, service to humanity etc Seyi has done it better than Adelabu. What are you saying? Seyi has been managing his private business even when Bayo was still in school.
