What are your brother's political leanings? I know PDP members see him as their poster child and the APC members see him as an audio governor. Who talks the talk but has no results.

I know his media assistant recently uploaded a picture of some items and praised him for purchasing it against COVID-19. Only problem is, those items were purchased by Sanwo-Olu in Lagos.

So these good and performing things cannot be named/listed but he has just been good right?

ToyinDipo:
I am from Ibadan, and presently in Ibadan due to lockdown, I can confirm to you that Seyi Makinde is generally appreciated in Oyo state, especially by workers. Any APC card carrier may state other wise, it's to their pockets.

afrodoc2:
Kai. So nobody can enumerate Seyi Makinde's achievements as governor? Just that he is doing well.........when he is not freaky freaky.

He sacked the SA on media the following day.

eph12:

A good or bad thing?

larride:


A very good response from Makinde.

It was an unacceptable mistake from an SA.

eph12:

I thought you were mocking his action in your post. We have seen so many SAs from both divides do this on SM and nothing is done about it.

In 2016, Ajimobi introduced 1k per term (3k yearly) fee for students in secondary schools in the state and he reintroduced mock waec for SS3 students in the state. The plan is that govt will only pay WAEC fees for student who are serious and show effort in the mock exams. With about 400k student in the state, that’s about 1.2bn every year added to the state IGR.

2019 when Seyi Makinde was sworn in, he immediately declared free education in the state (he stopped the 1k fee per term) and everyone went into jubilation. Few months later, reality dawn on them when’s Makinde declared that WAEC fee is not in his Free Education policy. That it’s the sole responsibility of parents or guidance. WAEC fee is 16,500.

So basically, he stopped them from paying 3k so they could pay 16,500. Let’s not even talk about the loss in IGR.

The same Seyi Makinde claimed Ajimobi did ceremonial commissioning of The Abiola Ajimobi Maternal and Paediatric Centre in Olodo. Fast forward to last week, the same center is the state isolation center in Ibadan. Seyi Makinde then remove the signage of the center and says Ajimobi has no right to name the center after himself because he built it with public funds. Lol

afrodoc2:


They are all the same. Thief in black suit and thief in grey suit still na thief.
And yes he shouldn’t have named the Centre after himself.

larride:


I don’t think so.

SA to a governor will use equipment bought by another state govt which they shared on Twitter and use it the next day claiming his own governor just bought them?

Good evening boss oo

Not disputing the Fact that SM hasn't done anything For Oyo state even if the Media is projecting him as one of the best

I just want to ask if You'd have said all these things If SM is in the Apc

i'm also in Ibadan, while it's true that Seyi is appreciated in Ibadan he has done nothing close to what Ajimobi did for oyo-state in the first term. the only thing he has done is reverse ajimobi policies.

what is helping seyi makinde is that he understand the game and he is playing it to the fullest. HIM and SANWO-OLU are twitter governor, unfortunately not only them use this method, that is the order of democracy in this century, as long as you are sound, a motivational speaker and also know how to use twitter very well you are good.

if you read his plan and agenda for oyo-state it's a very good plan but that is where it ends. i hope he implement them in the nearest future. also oyo state has always been pdp state. i voted for and personally i'm not yet impressed.

Greatihex:
God bless you. Look at all the energy he is using say all what he is saying, but if it were to be about Apc, you would have seen him on the other side.

izzou:
I think I'll be annoyed if Sanwo olu does nothing about this...

Heck, if I was a lawyer, I'll sue this guy (I no get money to hire one)

He acknowledged his errors and asked for forgiveness. What else do you want?

BrodaZakius:


Those that could’ve taken his matter up are busy in the joint fight against corona virus. Don’t worry , his day will come. He’s one nonesense boy that has once been called out for his insensitive jokes in the past. This is the second time he’s messing up, his day will come

izzou:


I watched that video multiple times

He was giving updates on how the NCDC were slow to respond to him. The bashings they got on Instagram sef is enough to summon their director

In a time like this, and someone sees it as an error?

Maybe we all should start making false videos and apologizing

I can't possibly highlight all what he has done. As you can see, all this things done is for the aimed at making the welfare.
Knowing the kind of person you are, I know you'd still see something to say but I'm all ears sha.

izzou:


Errors?

Faking yoir own infection, calling out the NCDC for not attending to you is an error?
Do you know the ridicule this stupid boy put the NCDC into?

Even the Empire actor(can't remember his name now) was arrested for faking his own attack. Maybe the USA was asking for much

Bro, I'd appreciate if you only quote me on issues concerning sports. Our thinking outside sports are two parallel lines. They never meet

No vex abeg

Godx:


He had a brief moment of madness but who hasn't? Did he hurt anyone in the process, No. He is just a clout chaser whose clout backfired ten fold and the clapback he has gotten so far is enough lesson for him. Una sabi overflog issues. He has even apologized severally but some of you still carry the matter for head. Just dey pray make you too no fvck up one day.

I am from Oyo state. I have never voted in any Nigerian election in my life and IMO I think the rating of Oyo governors since 1999 are below. I think Ladoja was the best and Akala is the worst governor ever. Both were PDP governors
Ladoja (PDP)
Ajimobi (APC)
Lam (AD)
Akala (PDP)

What I have seen from Seyi simply shows he is a media governor with no concrete plan, The major problem people had with Ajimobi was his perceived arrogance and this makes people bias against him, In Nigeria, we love those who give us flowery words without any action to back it, we like people who don't tell us the truth but massage our egos later in 20yrs time we will be wondering why we are still behind Benin and Togo.

Many things people dare not do in the private sector, they believe its govt that they should do it.

1. When Ajimobi got there, Ibadan was the center of NURTW crisis, he brought it all under control and sent some of those thugs to prison. Makinde to get power, aligned with some of these thugs like Igboho, and Auxilliary Now Auxilliary is the head of Park Managers in Oyo State

2. Ajimobi banned street trading and roadside shanties used for petty trade, Makinde resumed and played to the gallery that his mother was also a street trader and street trading should resume

3. I saw on Social Media one person posting how Makinde was at night joining waste management to pack gutters, And posted "See a humble governor, he even denied himself sleep to pack gutters" Someone asked him that if there was no camera will Makinde be there tonight to pack gutters?

4. Ajimobi implemented a levy on all school students which they use to buy things like chalk and other school needs but Makinde cut it. Some of those schools dont even have chalks again and the money they used to make from the levy is gone

For Nigeria to develop we need some hard decisions not just words and massaging egos. I dont mind someone who talks rudely as long as he delivers. I dont mind tough actions as long as we get results

For example Bisi Akande in Osun found out that an average secondary school in Osun will have 8 PE teachers, 6 CRK teachers, 8 IRK teachers but 1 Math teacher, 0 Physics and Chemistry teachers he retired many of those redundant workers employed more Scnience and Math teacher but lost election because of that

One governor mandated that if you are teaching a subject you should take a WAEC standard test of the subject and get 50%. Please tell me what is wrong with that policy? But he lost reelection because people frowned at it.

I asked someone if you are not competent enough, will First Bank or Zenith or MTN retain you? We see the efficiencies in some places and love it but we cannot practice the same thing

Most of the accolades of Seyi is that he pays Salary but Ajimobi was paying salary too promptly when he first got there, he even paid 13th month salary before oil prices crashed
https://allafrica.com/stories/201201050872.html

He built many infrastructures too but his main issue was that he can talk anyhow and doesn't respect anyone

We all go back to Nigeria and still see the same infrastructures that we had in 1980 still there and getting worse or no improvement. The same road we plied in 1990 hasn't been improved upon yet we wonder why we don't have functioning hospitals and rails. We are wondering why we have 200 ventilators for 200m people 1 for 1million.

Imagine Nigeria is just working on a functional rail in 2020 while we have countries less than us using rail for many decades, Until I see real projects on ground and not audio social media noise, I am not impressed

Singapore1:
Ajimobi sent a whole lot of those thug to prison, some are still in prison till date.
yes ajimobi did himself
