Oyo 2023: Dep Gov Denies Plot To Challenge Makinde

The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Mr. Raufu Olaniyan, has dissociated himself from alleged plots to break the cord between him and Governor Seyi Makinde as he on Tuesday disowned 2023 governorship campaign posters ascribed to him.

The disclaimed came after campaign posters, with inscriptions such as: ‘Enough is enough,’ Oke Ogun L’okan,’ meaning: It is the turn of Oke Ogun people’ with the logo of the Peoples Democratic Party, were seen in different parts of the state, on Tuesday.

This followed reports of disaffection between the deputy governor and Makinde as conveyed in a report of the party that claimed that he was being marginalized.

Disclaiming the reports, the deputy governor said: “I signed up for a 48 months contract as Governor Seyi Makinde’s deputy. We are not even halfway into that and then they are spreading this speculation like wildfire. Even my belief in God does not allow it.

“The poster was not printed in my name. The next stage of their sinister motive is to print posters in my own name. Technology has made printing relatively cheap these days and you can imagine what access such people will have to make as many fake posters as possible.

“Those behind this sinister plot have one mission: to sow a seed of discord between me and the governor and drive a wedge between us. But they will fail and they have always failed.”
