Stop globe-trotting in Wike’s interest, Oyo APC tells Makinde

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has cautioned Gov. Seyi Makinde to put a stop to his frequent foreign trips aimed at helping the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to bounce back to reckoning in the national political space as it concerned the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The media have reported the many foreign trips made in recent weeks by a group of aggrieved PDP governors led by Wike and which included Makinde as well as others from Abia, Benue and Enugu states, ostensibly to find solutions to their current travails within the umbrella party.

Piqued by the development, the opposition party in Oyo State, APC, has asked Makinde to either get serious with the business of governance or vacate his seat for the deputy governor to complete the remaining seven months of his four-year term.

Oyo APC said in a statement issued on Tuesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, submitted that Makinde had taken undue advantage of the maturity and people the people of the state for too long “as he conducts the affairs of government in a manner that has reduced Oyo State to his private company.
