The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, on Monday said he would not become a political godfather or attempt to control the affairs of the state after leaving office in 2027. Makinde, who will complete eight years in office in 2027, said his major concern after leaving office would be to ensure a smooth transition rather than retain control of the government through his successor. As we approach another election period, I want to urge our people, especially our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hold those seeking political office accountable. Those entrusted with public office must always put the interest of the citizens above their personal interests or political interests. Makinde also expressed appreciation to the people of Oyo State for their support and confidence in his administration over the past eight years.
